TORONTO and VANCOUVER, BC, March 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Building on its success as Canada's largest artificial intelligence (AI) and technology gathering, ALL IN today announced the launch of ALL IN Talks, a new series of one-day satellite events designed to accelerate the adoption of homegrown AI, while strengthening Canada's innovation ecosystem from coast to coast.
ALL IN Talks will take place in two of Canada's leading technological hubs: ALL IN Talks West, in Vancouver on April 15, 2026, and ALL IN Talks Toronto, on May 28, 2026.

With the launch of ALL IN Talks, the organization is responding to a global landscape where artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are no longer simply tools for productivity, but strategic assets that shape economic resilience, national competitiveness, and technological sovereignty. In this rapidly evolving environment, expanding the ALL IN experience nationwide strengthens Canada's innovation capacity and supports long-term economic growth.

The event will give participants the opportunity to explore solutions already delivering value across organizations and industries.
ALL IN Talks Toronto: Showcasing Ontario's Applied AI and Tech Leadership
ALL IN Talks Toronto will convene business leaders, AI practitioners, researchers, and policymakers around a curated program aligned with Ontario's economic priorities. Anchored in the Toronto–Waterloo corridor and presented by the Vector Institute and SCALE AI, the event will draw on Ontario's globally recognized research institutions, innovative enterprise companies, a concentrated network of startups and scale-ups, and strong culture of industry and research collaboration. The program will showcase applied AI use cases across healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, energy, and other strategic sectors, positioning Ontario-based solutions as technologies ready to be adopted and deployed at scale across organizations and industries.
ALL IN's flagship event continues to be held annually in Montréal, with the 2026 edition taking place September 16-17 and expected to welcome more than 7,500 business leaders from 40 countries.
