XBIZ Retreat will expand into Canada in 2027 with the debut of XBIZ Retreat Canada, taking place Aug. 16-20 at the W Toronto. The four-day hosted-buyer event will bring together leading pleasure product brands, distributors and qualified retail buyers from across the United States and Canada for a curated program of one-on-one business meetings, networking opportunities and industry socials.
Designed to foster meaningful connections and new business opportunities, XBIZ Retreat Canada will provide participating brands from around the world with direct access to key North American buyers in an intimate, relationship-focused setting.
“Toronto is such an exciting new destination for XBIZ Retreat,” said XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez. “Canada is an important market with an established community, and we’re looking forward to bringing key players together in a destination that creates the perfect environment for building relationships, expanding business and, of course, mixing business with pleasure.”
The event will be hosted at the W Toronto, located at the gateway to Yorkville, one of Toronto’s premier fashion, arts, dining and nightlife districts. Steps from Bloor Street’s boutiques, restaurants, galleries and museums, the property features contemporary accommodations and vibrant social spaces designed to complement the Retreat experience.
XBIZ Retreat’s hosted-buyer format centers on pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings that connect participating vendors directly with qualified buyers. The program is designed to maximize productive face time while offering an environment that encourages conversations and relationship-building beyond the meeting schedule.
Toronto joins Los Angeles and Miami among XBIZ Retreat destinations, with previous international editions taking place in Berlin, Amsterdam and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. XBIZ Retreat Canada will take place Aug. 16-20, 2027, at the W Toronto. For participation, sponsorship and additional information, contact retreat@xbiz.com.
