WHAT IS CS TORONTO?
For twelve years Creative Social has been bringing
together the most respected minds within advertising,
technology and design to explore the most interesting cities
on the planet. CS Toronto will be the 27th CS Global event.
CS Toronto aims to put a spotlight on the most interesting
people, places and companies in the city. We believe that
the best inspiration comes from opening our minds to new
cultures and experiences. From tiny start-ups pushing the
innovation boundaries, to world class thinkers, doers and
game changers, an overdose if inspiration is guaranteed.
Take a look at THIS VIDEO of CS Los Angeles to give you an
idea of what CS Global events are all about.
“Creative Social is one of
the top 5 influences on my
career. The CS Globals
make me fresh again.”

WHY TORONTO?
Toronto is the most multiculturally diverse city on the
planet: over 140 languages are spoken. With this unique
mixture of people calling it home there's no wonder the
cities creative energy is flourishing. Toronto has become
the undisputed capital of Canadian innovation, with
more than 600 start-ups, the country’s largest cluster of
universities and colleges pumping out research, and the
deepest venture capital pockets in the land.
There is a fresh international buzz about Toronto.
Perhaps it's the influx of flush new residents from across
the globe; or was it the Pan-Am Games that shone a
spotlight on the city in 2015? Either way, Toronto is
waking up to its own greatness and we can’t wait to
explore it.
