About the Event

Following the success of the C-Suite Marketing Summit in Toronto and Montreal, DAC and creative production studio m&h, in partnership with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA), are bringing this executive forum to Vancouver.

Hosted at The Vancouver Club, this half-day gathering will convene senior marketing and business leaders from across British Columbia for forward-thinking discussions on the evolving role of marketing within the C-suite.

As organisations navigate shifting consumer expectations, accelerating technological change, and increasing performance accountability, marketing’s alignment with corporate strategy has never been more critical. When marketing operates in sync with business objectives, the impact can be transformative.

The Vancouver summit will explore this dynamic through two expert-led panel discussions designed to foster meaningful dialogue, strategic collaboration, and practical insights.

As Mario Lemieux, Partner and SVP Business Development at DAC, notes: “Vancouver’s summit represents a chance for industry leaders to step beyond daily operations and engage in forward-thinking discussions. We’re committed to facilitating these connections and advancing the conversations that shape how marketing creates value for organizations.”
