The Toronto Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Toronto to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We're meeting for the very first time in Canada (woohoooo!!), and we just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.
Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.
Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Speakers: Sarah Stockdale, Founder of Growclass; and Quinn Palmer, Senior Manager of Growth Marketing at Growclass
Topic: Faking Human: What Marketers need to know about AI
AI is fundamentally changing how we market—from how people search, to how platforms serve content, to what “content” even means now. In this session, we’ll break down what’s actually happening (without the jargon), show you how to adapt your strategy, and give you practical tools to make your marketing more effective and less time-consuming. Whether you're feeling curious, excited, or totally overwhelmed—you’re in the right place.
We'll wrap up with a fireside chat, because the goal isn't to talk at you, but to chat with you. You'll leave with AI knowledge to help you do more, change things, and talk shop.
Takeaways:
- What's trending in marketing AI (and what matters)
- How to adapt and implement AI strategies in your team

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. Ticket price is yours to choose, and on average the community choose to pay between $20 and $50 😊
We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn't already been reached!) 🙂
Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, we hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂

See you there!
