Waterfront Symposium

Waterfront Symposium: Elevating Experience, Empowering Toronto

On September 29, join leaders from across business, policy, infrastructure, and tourism to shape the future of Toronto’s waterfront experience — transforming it as a destination to live, work, visit, and thrive.

The Symposium will spotlight the waterfront’s transformation through the lens of experience:

• How do people engage with the waterfront today?
• What new opportunities will shape those experiences tomorrow?
• And how can stakeholders align to ensure the waterfront delivers on its full potential as a world-class place to live, work, play, and visit?

Expect bold thinking, candid discussion, and the high-value connections that drive action — with a sharper focus on the waterfront as an experiential, economic, and civic engine for Toronto’s future.
