ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us in Toronto this September to connect, learn, grow, deal and, dare we say, party with nearly 200 of the best (and best-performing) professionals from our tight-knit group of advertisers and publishers. It turns out networking doesn’t have to feel like work. Start building close relationships that close big deals.

Please join us in Toronto, ON at the Hyatt Regency Toronto on September 24th & 25th, 2026.
