Start Toronto Community Week with intention. The Experts-led Workshops Day is your chance to dive deep into practical, high-impact learning with two of the most trusted voices in the community industry. Brian Oblinger will walk you through building bulletproof business cases—whether you’re pitching new programmes, headcount, or budget increases. His frameworks will help you gain alignment, make the case, and move your initiatives forward.

In the afternoon, Christina Garnett takes the stage to show how powerful storytelling can position your brand and community for long-term trust and advocacy. You’ll explore how to create narratives that resonate, inspire, and turn passive members into passionate ambassadors. This is not theory—it’s expert insight built on years of experience leading world-class programmes.
