At MediaTown, we’re all about gunning the engine, dropping the clutch, and putting eCommerce in the fast lane. So, when we caught wind of eComNorth, we knew we had to be in on the action. This isn't just another suit-and-tie snoozefest; this is Canada’s first and only DTC-focused conference, and it’s going to be a full-throttle, no-holds-barred extravaganza on September 6th at the Sheraton Conference Centre in Toronto.
Picture This: The Avengers of eCommerce, Only with More Shopify and Less Spandex
Organizers are gearing up for an epic gathering of over 800 eCommerce power players—brand bosses, execs, and innovators—all packed into one space. Think of it as the Avengers of eCommerce, but with more Shopify (or WooCommerce, if that’s your vibe) and a lot less spandex. Get ready for a killer combo of networking, learning, and flexing some serious ‘Made in Canada’ muscle. eComNorth is the first-ever DTC-focused conference in the Great White North, and trust me—we’re all in for this.
What’s eComNorth All About? Spoiler Alert: It’s Huge
So, here’s the scoop: eComNorth is the brainchild of three eCommerce titans—Aditya Gullia, Nicasio Co III, and Sharif Virani—who saw a gaping hole in the Canadian market. These guys didn’t just talk about it; they made it happen. They’ve created a playground where Canada’s eCommerce elite can come together, throw down some serious knowledge, and redefine what it means to be "Made in Canada."
At MediaTown, we live for this kind of energy. We specialize in DTC and B2C, so naturally, we’re all over this. eComNorth is going to showcase over 500 homegrown brands, and the lineup is stacked with heavy hitters like Dan Farmer, VP of Digital Platforms & Marketplace at Walmart and . Buckle up, folks—this is where the big dogs play.
