2025 GCFF Annual Wealth Conference – Toronto

October 18, 2025

Annual Wealth Conference
– Toronto

9:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites, Richmond Hill, ON

The Annual Wealth Conference 2025 is coming to Toronto —Canada’s financial capital and one of North America’s most dynamic business hubs. By expanding to Toronto, we’re offering investors and companies a coast-to-coast platform to share insights, build relationships, and access a broader range of opportunities. These two conferences are deeply connected—attending both gives you a rare, well-rounded view of market trends and emerging sectors across Canada’s major economic regions.

Toronto is the perfect place for the second stop of our flagship in-person event. We’ll be welcoming 600+ investors and professionals, along with nearly 50 leading companies for a full day of connection, strategy, and discovery—just like in Vancouver, but now with the added reach and depth of Toronto’s powerful financial ecosystem.

We’re covering eight major sectors that every investor should be paying attention to:

Capital Markets, ETFs, Financial Services, Private Equity, REITs, Crypto & Fintech, FX, and Real Estate Investment (REI).

These areas were picked because they reflect what matters in today’s market—some offer stability, some offer growth, and all of them are worth knowing about. You’ll get different viewpoints and walk away with fresh ideas to help you make smarter moves.

We’re in-person. After years of video calls and webinars, it feels good to actually meet people, shake hands, and talk things out face-to-face. Whether you’re here to learn, connect, pitch, or just explore, this is the kind of event where real conversations turn into real opportunities.

The Annual Wealth Conference 2025 – Toronto is your chance to get ahead—by seeing more, hearing more, and meeting more of the people shaping the future of investing. If you’re serious about growing your portfolio in this unpredictable market, you won’t want to miss it.

This event is suitable for the following:

Individual investors, private client brokers, financial institutions, buy & sell-side analysts, and journalists.
