Toronto Community Week (October 23-25, 2025) - by Led by Community
Welcome to Toronto Community Week (October 23–25, 2025)
A three-day gathering designed for community professionals, strategists, marketers, and ecosystem builders in Canada and beyond.
Following the incredible success of London Community Week 2025, we’re expanding our global footprint with Toronto Community Week—a local-first, global-friendly experience hosted in the heart of the city.
This is more than a conference. It’s a full journey through hands-on learning, industry insight, and peer-led collaboration—bringing together those building the future of customer communities, developer advocacy, B2B engagement, and mission-driven networks.
Join us at StartWell (786 King Street West, Toronto, ON) for three days of practical workshops, mainstage inspiration, and open-space dialogue.
