Access Canada Summit, powered by The Hollywood Reporter brings together the people, ideas, and opportunities shaping the future of entertainment.
Taking place from September 14–16 at the Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto—with the biggest program we’ve ever produced—the Summit offers delegates three days of important thought leadership, direct market access, and high-value business connections.
Delegates will hear candid and thought-provoking discussions from leaders driving the content business—from AI, verticals, new forms of content financing, buyers and distributors, global trends, intraCanada and international co-productions, post-production efficiencies, and much more!
And the conversations are only the beginning. Through the Market Access Program, which features executive-led roundtables and curated one-to-one pitch meetings, Access Canada Summit is designed to turn access into opportunity.
