Canadian Email Summit - 2026

Global Innovation. Canadian Context. Email Unshaken.

The tech industry south of the border has the predictability of a raccoon in a server room right now. Platforms are wobbling, third-party data is quietly being escorted off the premises, and every marketer who built their strategy on someone else's audience is having a very uncomfortable year.

Canadian marketers did the hard work years ago. We built consent-based, first-party programs while the rest of the world was still debating privacy law while voting for the hot reality show of the week. Now GDPR is table stakes, Bill C-27 is coming, and the global standard is catching up to where Canadian practitioners already are. AI is here, the inbox keeps evolving, and Canadians are still leading the way. Unshaken.

Canada is also, it turns out, a pretty good place to be right now. So grab your double-double, pull up a chair, and join the conversation with the practitioners navigating the same regulatory reality, the same ISP landscape, and the same AI questions you are.

What's new in 2026

This year the Canadian Email Summit runs two tracks for the first time, which means more content than any previous year, giving you a choice between the sessions that matter most to you. 

Same intimate format. Twice the content. One day of sessions that still gets you home before the pre-season hockey game puck drops.

Full agenda at emailsummit.ca/schedule.

Who's in the room

The marketing director for whom email is the backbone of the customer data strategy. The deliverability specialist keeping the infrastructure clean and the reputation intact. The senior marketer figuring out how to adopt AI tools without accidentally becoming a cautionary tale at next year's conference.

One venue. One day. All in the same building, politely swapping business cards and apologies.

Tickets

This year we upped the value with two tracks and dropped the price to make it even easier to support the Canadian email industry. No exchange rate. And an early bird price that, like gas under $1.80 a litre, will not last.

Save your loonies and lock in the early bird rate before Canada Day: $99 Regular pricing: $199

After that, the price goes up and the only thing left to do is feel like a hoser who should have registered sooner.
