Arcadian Court - 401 Bay Street, 8th Floor
In Person
Toronto isn't just Canada's largest economic hub—it's where innovation drives real business growth. As North America's fourth-largest city, we face a critical moment where today's economic challenges create tomorrow's opportunities.
Join Mayor Olivia Chow and key business leaders at the Arcadian Court for one of the most important business events of the year. This gathering delivers tangible value: meaningful connections with decision-makers, practical insights, and a voice in shaping Toronto's competitive future.
While others see rising costs and global competition as barriers, the leaders in this room will recognize them as the catalyst for our city's next evolution.

Her Worship Olivia Chow
Mayor of Toronto
Olivia Chow has served the people of Toronto for over three decades. Born in Hong Kong in 1957, she immigrated to Toronto with her parents at the age of 13. An apartment in the St. James Town neighbourhood was the launchpad for her remarkable personal journey as a community organizer, activist, school board trustee, Metro Toronto Councillor, Member of Parliament, and now the first person of Asian descent to serve as Mayor of Toronto, and the first woman to serve as Mayor since the six municipalities of Metro Toronto were amalgamated.
As our new Mayor she is working hard to build a City that holds the same kind of hope and promise that it did when she first arrived here – a City that is more affordable, caring and where everyone belongs.
