25 Seasons of Etalk: Celebrating Entertainment and Culture

News

- July 16, 2026

Access Canada Summit powered by The Hollywood Reporter will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Etalk with a special main stage conversation featuring Canada’s most iconic entertainment news team at this year’s Summit, taking place September 14–16, 2026 in Toronto.

For 25 seasons, Etalk has evolved alongside the entertainment industry itself, adapting to changing audiences, platforms, and cultural conversations while continuing to connect Canadians with the people and stories shaping entertainment. From red carpets and exclusive interviews to major industry moments and global pop culture events, Etalk has helped shape how Canadians connect with entertainment at home and around the world.

This special marquee session brings together Etalk hosts and producers for a conversation about how entertainment brands stay relevant in an era shaped by streaming, social platforms, creators, and real-time cultural conversations. Together, they’ll explore how audience habits are changing, what viewers expect from entertainment coverage today, and how established brands can continue to evolve without losing what makes them distinct.

Much more than a retrospective, this conversation will look ahead to the future of entertainment journalism, celebrity culture, and Canadian storytelling. At a time when homegrown talent is making an unprecedented impact globally, Etalk remains an essential platform for celebrating the people, projects, and cultural moments that define Canada’s screen industry.
