Forum Overview

Since 2005 the Canadian Sponsorship Forum has been delivering best-in-class sponsorship data and information while partnering with the most successful Canadian sponsorship properties.  The Canadian Sponsorship Forum presents a conference format completely unique to the industry and works overtime to provide delegates with the total sponsorship experience.

Commencez le Carnaval!

In February 2009, the Forum joins forces with Carnaval de Québec to present Canada’s ultimate gathering of the sponsorship and marketing elite.  

Speakers, tutorials, and workshops on best practices, learning new skills, and the latest industry trends will ensure you stay on the cutting edge.  Best of all, there is no better networking opportunity, which means making new contacts, getting an insider’s perspective, or floating that new proposal will be possible.

As always, the Forum strives to present the key elements of the sponsorship industry and the theme of this year’s gathering is Storytelling!  We will be looking at how sponsors and properties communicate their sponsorship stories through different marketing disciplines.  The industry changes daily!  How can you keep up?  Listen to speakers from across all fields tell you how to succeed, where to invest, what works, what is a fad, and what you need to hear about the business of sponsorship.    No fairy tales allowed, just the compelling facts every marketing professional will be able to take back and make great use of.


Hailed as the biggest winter carnival in the world, Carnaval de Québec promises to make the 2009 Forum an event to remember. From seeing the Plains of Abraham transformed into a family style amusement park to enjoying such traditional events as the International Snow Sculpture contest, Dog Sled Races, and the famous Canoe Races on the frozen St. Lawrence, there will be no shortage of fantastic events to augment your Forum Experience.
