Toronto is all-in, 100% of the time.

Toronto thrives on diversity, innovation, and cultural fusion, making it the heart of Canada’s creative and economic engine—where global perspectives meet distinctly Canadian values. Multiculturalism is the root of Toronto’s inclusive and collaborative spirit—53 percent of the population is foreign-born, representing 250 ethnicities and 180 dialects spoken. This mosaic of cultures fosters a space for diverse people and businesses, drawing international associations to Toronto year after year.
Toronto’s success in hosting global events lies in its collaborative 'Team Toronto' model, ensuring every detail, from the initial bidding through execution, is aligned with strategic goals. The Leaders Circle, Toronto’s ambassador programme, collaborates with academics, researchers and industry leaders to connect events with local expertise. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre features over 65,000 square metres of flexible event space, seventy-seven meeting rooms, and more, making it a top choice for global events that are looking to make a lasting impression.
Toronto stands as one of the top destinations for international meeting attendance, reflecting more than just scale—it reflects a deep commitment to inclusivity and impact. Whether it’s association meetings, teambuilding workshops, or wellness breaks, Toronto says yes—100% of the time.
