Get Ready for the Changemakers Summit in Toronto!
Hi everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to give you a rundown of what is happening at the SponsorshipX Changemakers Summit. It will be an action-packed few days, so get ready to soar!
The official dates of the Summit are November 13th to 15th in Toronto, and we will use the impressive Waterworks Food Hall as our home base for registration, content, networking, and workspaces. As you will see, however, we are all over the city for our event, and it will be a blast.
Before we begin, I will address a few questions I often receive.
1. Is there a discount for SMCC members? YES!
2. Are there non-profit rates? YES!
3. Is there an official conference hotel? NO and YES! Once you register, we will share links to hotels where we have discounts.
4. Is there an Early Bird discount? YES, but you missed it. That said, until October 15th, you can still save $$$ with our ADVANCE PASS.
5. Is there an agenda I can see? YES!
6. Can you send me the list of registered attendees? Access to the list is reserved for our delegates and is available in the app during the summit.
Okay, ready for your rundown of the SponsorshipX Changemakers Summit in Toronto, November 13-15? I am!
November 12th
We will have a Pre-Summit networking event for the first 100 registrants to attend the screening of the PITCH https://www.thepitchdoc.ca/screenings at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Theatre.
Afterwards, join us on Bloor Street for a nightcap at a local pub.
November 13th
Registration, sessions, breakfast, and lunch at the Waterworks Food Hall are from 9 a.m. to midday.
Sessions will occur in the East and West Halls. The East Hall will be theatre-style for keynotes and panels, while the West Hall will be round for more interactive sessions.
Make sure you check out our excellent networking and hospitality area in the East Annex
Speakers, sponsors, and partners - relax in our VIP Lounge upstairs in Civil Works
That afternoon, we will head offsite to a downtown venue to participate in an NSL media activation and enjoy more sessions
Those who want to spend more time learning new skills can stay behind and participate in a hackathon
Our evening networking event will include food, refreshments, business development opportunities, fun, and more food!
November 14th
Day 2 at the Waterworks for amazing sessions, more networking and want to play some soccer? We have you covered in our delegate small side soccer tourney on Friday afternoon.
If you want to play with your mind instead, stick around the Waterworks and participate in the hackathon.
On Friday night, SponsorshipX will partner with the NSL on their official party, and our delegates are on the RSVP list! It will be at a fun venue with food, brews, and I am told a lot of trivia led by Diana Matheson,
November 15th
We have booked out Brazen Head in Liberty Village for a pregame pep rally, brunch, and motivational keynote. Our delegates will be joined by Northern Super League executives, partners, and team leaders.
After the morning cheer, head to BMO Field for the NSL Final - the first-ever professional women’s soccer championship in Canada
Post-game - that’s up to you, but I am sure you will have plenty of friends to do it with!
As we confirm our additional venues, I will share more and more details with you. There will be a lot to learn, there is a lot to do, and I hope you will bring your friends to do it with you!
