Canadian Events Portfolio
Event Series
Canadian event series bring together the most influential IT and business professionals to deliver expert analysis and actionable insights to a technology buying audience.
IDC’s FutureIT Canada event series offers the best of both event formats for sponsors – Day 1 is an in-person conference in Toronto and Day 2 is delivered through an interactive virtual event platform that showcases professionally recorded versions of the main stage content from Day 1, attracting attendees across Canada. Event Series create a regular cadence of experiences (spring and fall) that connect the many stakeholders in the purchase decision, self-selecting around specific topics of interest.
