In 1988, we had equipment and handouts tied up in Customs. There was a
concern that the stuff would not be released in time for the conference. I
hope they don't do that again.
The problems go both ways. I've heard of material being tied up by
US customs on the way to conferences there too.
There are of course lots of alternatives to transporting stuff
across the border. Such as contracting with a local printer or
copier service for the handouts. Or leaving your big computers at
home and connecting to them over the internet. Or leasing equipment
locally. Don't forget that the exchange rate still favors visitors
to Canada.
(Or just work with a reputable shipper that knows all the
appropriate rules and regs on both sides of the border.)
On either side, the major concern is that you'll bring in some
equipment for a conference, thus being excempt from duties, and then
sell the equipment locally without paying the applicable duties.
