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 3,000 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.
