VENUE SERIES | FULL-DAY EVENT
Discover the future of corporate events.
JANUARY 25, 2027 | SHANGRI-LA TORONTO
Designed for those who plan corporate events, this full-day experience offers immersive talks, innovative culinary tastings, two rounds of our traditional 8-minute meetings with suppliers, and the most elaborate prize draw in recent history.
By invitation only.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
We're looking beyond what's familiar.
For event professionals, the landscape is shifting constantly: new destinations, new venues, new technologies, new expectations, and new ways to create experiences that matter. New Horizon is designed as a day to step outside the usual routine, discover what’s emerging, and make connections that could shape what comes next.
This full-day event offers two rounds of our traditional 8-minute meetings with suppliers. We also introduce a higher-tiered Hosted Buyer Program that connects you with Premier vendors in fully private meetings.
