A Brief History

The Canadian Sponsorship Forum is a unique event that travels the country showcasing the best in Canadian Sponsorship Stories. In 2005, delegates were treated to a unique CFL Grey Cup experience in Vancouver that included an appearance by the trophy itself, a behind the scenes tour of BC Place, a performance by Anthem singer Jully Black, Argo Cheerleaders and a ticket to the big game. All that, on top of Canada's biggest sponsorship conference.

In 2006, we descended upon Calgary for the biggest outdoor show on earth. The Stampede was our host and delegates enjoyed a trip to a private rodeo ranch in the foothills of the rockies, a visit from the Stampede ringmaster on horseback, a VIP steak lunch ringside and tickets to the opening ceremonies.

2007 saw us come east to Toronto and the Toronto International Film Festival, the world's largest public film festival. Delegates schmoozed at the ET Canada Studio Lounge, met Oscar-nominated Director, Deepa Mehta, saw private screenings of Canadian short films, enjoyed a private VIP reception and showing of George Clooney's new movie, were shocked by a surprise stunt performance and attended the official Closing Night Gala and Afterparty at Harbourfront.

The Canadian Sponsorship Forum is an event that should not be missed by anyone engaged in Canada's sponsorship industry. Not only will you hear Canada's most accomplished sponsorship professionals speak, but you will experience unfettered, hands-on access to a major Canadian sponsorship success story. On top of all that you will network with the cream of our industry's crop. Agencies, properties, researchers, educators, suppliers and corporate Canada all flock to the Forum for a chance to connect and re-connect.
