‘Rise’ is the theme for this year’s conference, taking place on Saturday, October 26th at Evergreen Brick Works. So many things in the world are rising—new technologies and businesses, political movements, online communities, the temperature. Many of these forces have sparked important debates. For instance, what will it take for society to rise together, so that no one gets left behind?

- Mark Cohon, Chairman of Toronto Global and Former Commissioner of the CFL
