Direct Lithium Extraction Canada 2027
Direct Lithium Extraction Canada 2027 is the 4th annual edition of the premier event shaping the future of sustainable lithium in North America, taking place 12-13 April 2027 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The two-day trade exhibition and conference brings together oil and gas operators, technology providers, battery buyers, investors and regulators advancing lithium recovery.
The industry faces challenges in converting Canada's vast oilfield brine resources into battery-grade supply through recovery methods that are both efficient and economically viable. The 2027 programme explores clear solutions across adsorption, ion exchange, membrane and electrochemical extraction, plus integrated water management and demonstration plants.
Key topics for 2027: securing offtake agreements and project finance for brine lithium; improving process efficiency across brine pretreatment and reinjection; advancing demonstration plants to commercial battery-grade output; evaluating adsorption, ion exchange and membrane recovery routes; deploying digital twins and automation across lithium recovery scale-up; and navigating critical minerals policy, incentives and permitting.
The event features 100+ industry topics, 8+ networking events, 50+ leading experts and 20+ Q&A sessions. The published agenda covers Monday 12 April and Tuesday 13 April 2027, with registration and morning refreshments from 08:00 and a networking lunch to 14:00 on the closing day.
