Ecom North - Sept 23 & 24, 2025 | Toronto
An event for the founders & operators in eCommerce who are hungry to build & grow. We (Nic, Adi, Kensen) know how lonely building an eCommerce brand can be & we were tired of flying to the U.S. for all the best DTC conferences - so we made our own!

👋 Meet the Organizers
Nic, Adi & Kensen: Building Canada's E-Commerce Community
Great ideas often begin in the most unexpected places. For Ecom North, it all started at a sushi dinner in March 2024. Nic, Adi, and Kensen were three friends with a shared passion for eCommerce, but it wasn’t until that evening that they realized the full potential of their combined experiences. As they swapped stories and brainstormed over sushi rolls, the idea of Ecom North came to life: a community where DTC sellers, leaders, and innovators could come together to inspire, connect, and grow.
