Socialnext Events

Canada’s Premier Marketing Events and Media Platform SocialNext is Canada’s leading marketing event and media platform, designed to connect professionals with the insights, tools, and relationships they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry. What began as a single regional conference has grown into a nationally recognized series of in-person events, integrated media products, and year-round community programming that serves over marketers annually. In 2025, SocialNext hosts five flagship events in key Canadian markets: Toronto, Calgary, Halifax, Vancouver, and Ottawa. Each event is uniquely tailored to its audience and region, while maintaining a consistent focus on future-forward strategies, high-impact learning, and exceptional production quality. The program includes tactical sessions, expert panels, and inspiring keynotes—curated to deliver insights marketers can apply immediately in their day-to-day work. What sets SocialNext apart is its focus on practitioners. This is a community of doers—marketers, strategists, agency leaders, nonprofit communicators, and brand builders—who come not just to watch, but to participate, connect, and grow. Attendees include professionals from nearly every sector: tech, tourism, retail, healthcare, education, government, and more. In 2024, 83% of tickets were employer-paid and 74% of attendees held senior roles such as Director, VP, or business owner. These aren’t passive viewers—they’re decision-makers investing time, attention, and resources into staying ahead. This environment creates unmatched opportunities for authentic conversations, strategic connections, and lasting partnerships. It also offers a valuable platform for sponsors, speakers, and solution providers to engage with a targeted, motivated, and highly professional audience.
