The Hollywood Reporter will unveil its inaugural list of Canada’s top deal and decision makers with the launch of The Canada 25 — recognizing 25 of the most influential and powerful industry leaders in Canadian media.

The Canada 25 will be published by The Hollywood Reporter alongside Access Canada Summit, taking place from September 8 – 10 in Toronto. Delegates will have the opportunity to celebrate The Canada 25 honourees as part of this year’s program — gaining access to the people who greenlight projects, form strategic partnerships, and shape the Canadian entertainment industry.

For the first time on a Canadian stage, go behind the scenes with editors, journalists, and critics from The Hollywood Reporter as they provide an insider look at how THR covers the politics, the personalities, and the business of entertainment.

Kick-off the Access Canada Summit with a powerful opening session about where the industry is headed — through the eyes of those who cover it every day. Hear about:

• Tariffs and cross-border issues
• Industry-shaping trends 
• Awards buzz and cultural commentary
• Evolving business models, and more!
