GET READY FOR THE ACCESS CANADA SUMMIT MARKET ACCESS MEETINGS LAUNCHING THIS WEEK and YAGA JOINS THE MAIN STAGE LINEUP

News

GET READY for the biggest market access program ever offered at Access Canada Summit, powered by The Hollywood Reporter from September 14 to 16 at the Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto.

1000+ meeting slots means more meetings per delegate, and more chances to connect.

WHY THE MEETINGS MATTER
  • Face time moves business forward. A focused 15-minute conversation can accomplish what weeks of emails, introductions and follow-ups often can’t—putting your project, your company and you directly in front of the people who can move things forward.

  • People do business with people. In an increasingly virtual industry, there is still no substitute for sitting across from someone, sharing an idea and making a genuine personal connection. The relationships built at Access Canada Summit can extend far beyond a single meeting.

  • Meet the people you’ve been trying to meet. Our curated program gives delegates direct access to an exceptional roster of decision-makers—all in one place.

  • Make more direct connections in three days than you could in months. Instead of individual meetings throughout the year, Access Canada Summit brings the industry together and creates an incredibly efficient environment for doing business.

One meeting can change the trajectory of a project. It may lead to financing, development, distribution, a new partner—or simply the insight and relationship that opens the next door.

Come with projects. Come with questions. Come ready to meet people.

Market Access bookings open on Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 noon EST and are offered on a first come, first served basis to registered delegates.  For detailed sign-up instructions please visit: MARKET ACCESS PROGRAM.
