20 Toronto Street Conference Center, Toronto, Canada

Now is the time for us to come together and gather our collective strength to set the course for greater audiences and donors to enjoy and be inspired by the fantastic work that we do. To facilitate your entire team being able to attend the conference, we have created a pricing structure that makes it easy for you to bring your colleagues.

The Canadian Arts Marketing, Development and Ticketing Conference will focus on the myriad ways your organization can benefit from the latest research, resources and strategies that others are using to increase ticket sales and donations. The conference will include a Special Digital Marketing Track geared toward helping solve the complex challenges you are tackling in the digital world. Delegates at the conference will return to their office with a cohesive plan for bringing the disparate parts of their campaigns together into one coordinated effort.

The Price is Right!

Your team holds the keys to unlocking winning engagement strategies to find, retain and upgrade patrons, and strong collaboration is paramount to your overall effectiveness. That's why we have built team-building workshops into the program, and have structured the registration process so that it will be easy for you to come as a team. Register by June 7 to get the lowest price and bring a colleague for FREE (2-for-1). Plus, if someone on your team can’t attend the entire conference, they can transfer their registration to someone else in your organization for the times when they can't be there.

Teams get the most benefit from the conference, since they return to their company with the same knowledge base, ready to roll up their collective sleeves and put the new strategies to work immediately. We are told over and over that the 2-for-1 pricing makes it possible for attendees to be able to attend the conference, so make sure to take advantage of this offer by June 7!

Furthermore, to ensure that the head of your organization also can be part of this learning, we have made special arrangements so that he or she can attend part of the conference for FREE! If your Executive Director, CEO, Dean, Artistic Director, Managing Director, Managing Producer, or President does not register for the full conference as part of your team, he or she is invited to attend Tuesday, June 13, from noon to 5:00 p.m., at no cost.  At noon there is an important networking reception, followed by roundtable discussions over lunch, and then the Afternoon Intensive. There is a place on the registration form to tell us who this will be.

Be certain to register early; space is limited and will sell out. It’s critical to make time away from the office for your professional advancement. Free Wi-Fi will be available so you can stay connected to the office.



Don’t get left behind…to find out how to optimize your strategies and stay ahead of the curve, see the registration page for details.

Join us for two and a half days of unprecedented learning and fun in the world’s most exciting city!

    EleeHub was founded in 2021 to address a critical gap in the nonprofit marketing domain. It became evident that most nonprofits could be categorized into three groups: those unaware of the Google Ad Grant, those who had attempted to utilize it but were deterred by its complexity, and those engaged with costly consultants yielding minimal or expensive outcomes. EleeHub emerged as a beacon for small to mid-sized nonprofits seeking an efficient, cost-effective, and impactful marketing strategy.

    As a certified Google Partner, EleeHub champions the belief that all nonprofits should fully utilize the Google Ad Grant, with professional assistance, to optimize their outcomes. The EleeHub team brings together over thirty years of collective expertise in nonprofit marketing and Google Ads, positioning itself as a leading force in the sector.  https://www.eleehub.com/
