Access Canada Summit powered by The Hollywood Reporter returns September 14–16 in Toronto with the most powerful Market Access Program we’ve ever built—creating more opportunities for producers and creators to connect directly with the executives and companies shaping the future of entertainment.
This year’s expanded program features more global decision-makers, more executive-led roundtables, more one-to-one pitch meetings, and more opportunities to build meaningful business relationships.
Whether you’re seeking financing, distribution, co-production partners, buyers or commissioners, every registered delegate will have access to book more curated meeting opportunities designed to help move projects forward.
