Where the future is shaped, intentionally.
A global convening of founders, investors, and frontier thinkers shaping what’s next!
For one-day only, we’re bringing together global leaders, artists, visionaries, policymakers, and more for highly curated panels, immersive experiences, and high-impact networking all in one place.
This is where conversations turn into connection, capital, and momentum, and we’re taking over Canada House in a big way.
