Digital Day Camp is back and bigger than ever

The Canadian media industry is changing fast: signal loss, measurement breakdowns, AI disruption, shifting consumer behavior across CTV and omnichannel.

You can’t solve that in silos.

This moment needs shared thinking, shared language, and shared leadership, grounded in what’s happening
in Canada, not generic trends that don’t apply here. So, after four sold-out events, Digital Day Camp returns to Toronto Spring 2026 as two distinct one-day events, each built for two different audiences, with two different outcomes.

Digital Day Camp returns as two distinct one-day experiences. Day 1, (Digital Day Camp Leadership) sets the direction for Canadian digital media challenging assumptions, aligning on what needs to change, and discussing the future at a 30,000-foot level with insights from top industry leaders. Day 2, (DDC Next) builds on that momentum by turning strategy into action, featuring practical problem-solving, real operator stories, mentorship, and playbooks attendees can bring back to their teams.

Even with our expanded format, our mission stays the same: bring Canada’s digital media decision-makers together for honest conversations and real collaboration that actually moves the market forward.

Hosted by
David U.K. and Rob Beeler, Digital Day Camp breaks with convention. It’s built for the people who shape outcomes across publishers, ad tech, agencies, brands, and beyond, in the same room, at the same table.

Digital Day Camp Leadership
April 15, 2026

Day 1 is built for decision-makers. If you’re VP-level or above at a publisher, agency, brand, or ad tech company, this is where you need to be. No junior staff. No tourists. No sales pitches. Just the leaders shaping the future of Canadian digital media.

DDC Next
April 16, 2026

Day 2 is built for next-gen leaders. If you’re a director, manager, or team lead in digital media, this is where you go deeper. Built for leaders in motion looking for strategic traction. You'll dig into real problems and solutions with a peer group that speaks your language.

"Topics and content covered in-depth...engaging content, truly unique Q&A throughout… opportunity to dive deep, inclusive environment designed to learn.  Well worth the time and investment for leaders looking to grow their business."

​Who Should Attend?

​​This isn’t an event for spectators. Digital Day Cam1p is built for leaders who own outcomes, and the next generation of leaders driving execution across the entire industry ecosystem:

  • For publishers and media companies that need real answers on revenue growth, measurement, and the tech that actually drives results. 
     

  • For agencies tired of vendor-led conferences and hungry for real talk about measurement, media investment, and accountability. 
     

  • For brands who want more than the same old strategies and are ready to push innovation. 
     

  • And for ad tech leaders who know that breaking into Canada isn’t just about selling—it’s about understanding what this market actually needs.

Why Should You Attend?

Because this is the only place where these conversations happen.

Many media conferences are passive, where leaders speak on stage and then disappear. Digital Day Camp is the opposite. Here, you’re part of the discussion, part of the problem-solving, part of the future. You’ll be in the room with the people making real decisions about CTV, programmatic, AI, DEI, and everything that will define Canada’s digital media landscape for the next five years.

If you’re looking for surface-level insights and recycled talking points, this isn’t your event. But, if you’re ready to sit across from industry leaders and rising stars who are facing the same challenges you are, share what’s working (and what’s not), and walk away with actual, usable insights, then we’ll see you in Toronto.

NETWORK WITH
YOUR PEOPLE

Connect exclusively with Canadian digital media decision-makers like you. Digital Day Camp brings together publishers, agencies, brands, and ad tech leaders who don’t just show up for a panel and leave. These are the executives who stay, engage, and have the conversations that lead to real, lasting change.

LEARN FROM
INDUSTRY INNOVATORS

Digital Day Camp’s collaborative roundtable discussions are open, candid conversations on the challenges that matter most. This is your chance to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with industry heavyweights and technology specialists who are shaping the future of Canadian media, without the sales pitches.

TECHNOLOGY BUILT 
FOR CANADA

The best ad tech companies don’t just sell to Canada—they build for it. Meet the partners who understand the market, the challenges, and what it takes to succeed here. Whether you’re looking for better monetization, smarter measurement, or partners who get it, this is where those connections happen.

Together, we raised $12,830 for NABS, the National Advertising Benevolent Society. This registered Canadian charity provides financial aid, career coaching, and wellness support for professionals in media, marketing, and communications—100% funded by the generosity of our industry.

For the
third year in a row, Digital Day Camp and our sponsors raised more for NABS in a single day than any other for-profit conference to date.
