NIAGARA FALLS, ON · SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Put your organization in the room where Canada's learning community meets.
The Canadian Learning Conference brings about 250 learning practitioners and thought leaders together for two focused days at the Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls. Sponsors are part of the community here, not on the sidelines. They sit in on sessions, share meals and join the conversations shaping learning in Canada.

WHY SPONSOR
A community, not a trade show
Large expos are built for traffic. CLC is built for access. A deliberately small group of sponsors means more room to be noticed, more time for real conversations and a better chance of being remembered after the event.
01
Be visible without the noise
With fewer competing brands, attendees have time to notice who you are and understand what you offer.
02
Build relationships that last
Repeat conversations across two days, and a community that comes back year after year, turn introductions into trust.
03
Talk with the people who build
Meet the people shaping learning strategy, platforms, design, accessibility and adoption across Canada.
04
Stay in the flow
The Sponsor hub, meals, coffee and networking are part of the program, so conversations happen naturally.
05
Get seen more than once
Recognition before, during and after the event: email, social media, stage moments and follow-up.
06
Support the community
Useful resources and thoughtful participation earn more attention than a sales pitch.
Who you'll meet
Executives and learning leaders
Instructional designers
Learning technologists
LMS administrators
Consultants and solution buyers
Public, private, academic and non-profit teams
