Unleashed 2026: From Purpose to Performance

Eastern Ontario’s premier social impact gathering. Make valuable connections and gain critical insights to help your enterprise thrive!

Social enterprise in Canada no longer needs convincing. The case for purpose-driven business is clear. What’s harder—and more urgent—is execution: building reliable revenue, winning and retaining customers, navigating procurement systems, and scaling in complex, competitive markets.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Unleashed 2026 is a half-day, practitioner-focused conference that centres around honest, practical conversations about what it really takes to perform. Through a keynote fireside chat and three targeted panel breakouts, the conference dives into the decisions that matter most right now—pricing and sales, procurement and partnerships, access to capital, and pathways to sustainable growth.

You’ll hear directly from organizations at different stages and across sectors, sharing what’s working, what isn’t, and the trade-offs they’ve made along the way. Expect real-world insights, actionable takeaways, and connections that extend beyond the room.

Join us—and get ready to unleash impact through execution.
