​The growth playbook is being rewritten in real time. We're bringing the people rewriting it in Toronto together.

​One evening. Two panels. The conversation: what's actually working in 2026 and what to do about it. This is not a keynote. This is not a sales pitch. This is the conversation you need to be a part of.

​The Panels

​#1
Rachel Wong — Co-Founder, Monday Girl (Moderator)
Rachel is the Co-Founder of Monday Girl, the leading private members' club dedicated to empowering the modern and ambitious woman to rise to the top and supporting her in staying there. Rachel has spent the majority of her career in high-growth startups and joined Uber in its early days to help launch the Uber Eats platform in key Canadian markets.

​Kate Chippindale — Director, Integrated Marketing, Wealthsimple

​Eden Hazan — Founder, Dreamcrust Pizza
Eden is a Canadian founder, creator, and brand strategist who leveraged content to help save and reinvent his family business. With over 30 years of family history in pizza, Eden used his experience in social media, branding, and storytelling to launch Dreamcrust Pizza, a scroll-stopping brand that stood out before the high-protein category truly took off. Through founder-led content, strong creative instincts, and a deep understanding of internet culture, he helped grow the brand, spark viral momentum in Toronto, and show how content can become one of the most powerful tools a founder has to build relevance, community, and meaningful business growth.

​Lauren Kahansky — Head of Industry, Travel & Telco + Food & Beverage, TikTok for Business
