About this Event
Welcome to the 2025 STACKTˣ Social Conference for Small Businesses! This year, we’re diving into Futureproofing Local: Reinventing Retail in a Changing World
This is a free event inviting Canadian small business owners to an inspiring evening where you’ll connect with passionate entrepreneurs, learn from motivating keynote speakers, discover products from curated small businesses, engage in fireside chats, and enjoy music, food, and drinks—all while taking away key insights to help make your business more successful.
In today’s ever evolving world, small businesses are navigating a moment of constant change – shaped by shifting consumer behaviours, affordability pressures, climate concerns, and the rapid rise of AI.
