Navigating a World of Disruption

The Toronto Global Forum is an international conference fostering dialogue on national and global issues. It is held under the auspices of the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA). The IEFA organizes annual summits bringing together heads of states, central bank governors, ministers and global economic decision makers. The Forum also offers exclusive opportunities for business meetings aimed at promoting partnerships among major Canadian and international corporations.

The Toronto Global Forum presents significant opportunities for synergies between stakeholders, speakers, business delegations and attendees onsite. During the Toronto Global Forum, over 100 bilateral meetings take place onsite between senior decision makers and actors of the global economy. Numerous contacts are also made informally, through private client meetings, setting the stage and opportunity for new partnerships. Over the years, the Toronto Global Forum has increasingly developed into a strategic platform for business development.
