Ongoing relationships that continue long after the event ends
In today’s increasingly virtual world, the in-person experience of BOAGS offers irreplaceable value. Business in the oil and gas sector still hinges on personal trust, and there’s no better environment to build that trust than here.
A Future-Focused Event That Respects Its Roots
BOAGS succeeds because it strikes a powerful balance — it’s firmly rooted in Alberta’s legacy of energy excellence while keeping a clear eye on future challenges. As the global industry evolves toward decarbonization, digitalization, and diversification, BOAGS remains an inclusive space to discuss how innovation and tradition can co-exist.
Participants aren’t just here to look back at where the industry has been — they’re here to chart where it’s going. Whether through green tech exhibits, sessions on sustainable extraction, or support for next-gen workforce development, the show embraces change with confidence.
Where the Industry Meets, Connects, and Grows
The Bonnyville & District Oil & Gas Show is not just another date on the industry calendar — it's a community-driven celebration of energy, expertise, and opportunity. It’s where technology meets trust, where ideas lead to implementation, and where businesses come to grow, not just show.
By combining professional excellence with small-town warmth, BOAGS proves that the most powerful energy in the industry comes from people — working together, sharing ideas, and building a better future for everyone in the sector.
