The C-Suite Marketing Summit Returns To Toronto This Spring, With A Continued Focus on Executive Alignment
The sold-out event is back at Le Germain Hotel in downtown Toronto with a new roster of C-Suite and senior marketing executive speakers
Toronto, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Next month, Canadian senior marketing and business leaders will once again convene at Le Germain Hotel (Maple Leaf Square) for the second official Toronto C-Suite Marketing Summit on April 15 – a half-day forum presented by digital-led full-funnel media agency DAC and creative production studio m&h, in collaboration with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA).
The Toronto edition returns following a sold-out debut last year, underscoring strong demand for a dedicated forum built exclusively for senior decision-makers. Originally launched in Montreal three years ago, the C-Suite Marketing series has quickly evolved into a national platform, expanding first to Toronto in 2025 and most recently to Vancouver, where an inaugural event took place earlier this month.
Like all events in the C-Suite Marketing series, the Toronto Summit is designed by and for the senior leaders navigating today’s rapidly evolving marketing and business landscape. With an intentional focus on the critical CEO-CMO relationship, event programming brings together Canadian executives from top brands to examine the forces shaping the industry, from technology and innovation to data, growth, and leadership. The summit was created to foster candid, high-impact dialogue among the leaders driving change, while also creating meaningful opportunities for peer-to-peer connection.
Confirmed speakers include CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer of IKEA Canada, CMO of Roots, and more C-Suite executives from Simons, Harry Rosen, Hello Fresh, Nestle, TELUS and Mastercard – representing a diversity of brands and industries to offer a large range of expertise and insight. The agenda will feature panel and fireside style conversations between executives, moderated by Diane J. Brisebois (formerly Retail Council of Canada), Susan Krashinsky Robertson (The Globe and Mail), and Andrea Hunt (Association of Canadian Advertisers).
Proceeds from the event will benefit a cause to be announced soon.
Attendance is limited to 100 guests and reserved for senior marketing leaders. Ticketing details are available at csuitemarketingsummit.ca.
From the Organizers
“We’re very excited to be back for what is now an annual Toronto summit, with a new all-star lineup of marketing and business leaders,” says President of m&h, Christian Quenneville. “We knew when we launched in Montreal that the demand for a dedicated, peer-level forum was there, but it seems now that it’s never been stronger. The C-Suite series has quickly grown into a national platform connecting the country’s most senior marketers and the Toronto summit will continue to explore the complexity and opportunity facing today’s C-Suite.”
“The Toronto Summit brings together executives who are not just responding to change, but driving it,” says Mario Lemieux, Partner, SVP Business Development at DAC. “From AI and data transformation to organizational leadership and growth strategy, this is a rare opportunity for senior marketers to exchange candid insights with peers, and we're committed to facilitating these conversations among those who understand the pressures, and opportunities, at the top.”
“As the industry’s independent voice, we are here to ensure the content remains relevant, forward-thinking, and grounded in the realities senior marketers face every day. The strength of this platform is that it’s built by the community, for the community; that’s what continues to set it apart,” says Andrea Hunt, President and CEO of ACA.
