What happened

The Kivalliq Trade Show Society has scheduled its 2026 trade show in Rankin Inlet for Sept. 21–23. Monday is set aside for registration, setup and an evening meet-and-greet. The main program, business panels, art market and trade-show activities are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Agnico Eagle Arena.

Why it matters

The event gives Kivalliq businesses, artists, entrepreneurs and community groups a regional place to meet and present their work. The listed public hours provide a practical opportunity for Rankin Inlet residents to visit without registering as delegates.

What happens next

The public art market is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 22, from 1:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesday, Sept. 23, the trade-show floor and art market are both scheduled to be open to delegates and the public from 1:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The organizer says the program remains subject to change. Source

Important details

The draft program is titled “Naalagit: Listen.” It lists panels on listening to communities, business and youth. Tuesday’s trade-show floor is listed for delegates only, while Wednesday’s floor is listed as open to the public. A gala banquet and auction supporting Kivalliq non-profit organizations are scheduled for Wednesday evening, but the program does not state whether the banquet is open to the public.
