TORONTO and VANCOUVER, BC, March 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Building on its success as Canada's largest artificial intelligence (AI) and technology gathering, ALL IN today announced the launch of ALL IN Talks, a new series of one-day satellite events designed to accelerate the adoption of homegrown AI, while strengthening Canada's innovation ecosystem from coast to coast.

ALL IN Talks will take place in two of Canada's leading technological hubs: ALL IN Talks West, in Vancouver on April 15, 2026, and ALL IN Talks Toronto, on May 28, 2026. These gatherings will extend the signature ALL IN experience, mobilizing industry leaders and solution providers to advance AI adoption across British Columbia and Ontario.

The ALL IN Talks series connects organizations ready to deploy AI with Canadian tech providers offering market-ready solutions. Each event will showcase sector-specific applications and local success stories, while offering high-value networking opportunities that support real-world implementation for the benefit of the Canadian economy.

With the launch of ALL IN Talks, the organization is responding to a global landscape where artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are no longer simply tools for productivity, but strategic assets that shape economic resilience, national competitiveness, and technological sovereignty. In this rapidly evolving environment, expanding the ALL IN experience nationwide strengthens Canada's innovation capacity and supports long-term economic growth.

ALL IN Talks West: Mobilizing Western Canada's Innovation Strength

In Vancouver, ALL IN Talks West will bring together enterprise leaders, government, decision-makers and innovators to spotlight British Columbia's highly collaborative innovation culture and technology ecosystem. Presented by TELUS and SCALE AI, the program will engage dozens of regional leaders to showcase how B.C. and Western Canada are positioning themselves as a premier destination for global organizations to build, deploy and scale transformative AI solutions while maintaining the governance, security, and data control that modern enterprises demand. The event will give participants the opportunity to explore solutions already delivering value across organizations and industries.

ALL IN Talks Toronto: Showcasing Ontario's Applied AI and Tech Leadership

ALL IN Talks Toronto will convene business leaders, AI practitioners, researchers, and policymakers around a curated program aligned with Ontario's economic priorities. Anchored in the Toronto–Waterloo corridor and presented by the Vector Institute and SCALE AI, the event will draw on Ontario's globally recognized research institutions, innovative enterprise companies, a concentrated network of startups and scale-ups, and strong culture of industry and research collaboration. The program will showcase applied AI use cases across healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, energy, and other strategic sectors, positioning Ontario-based solutions as technologies ready to be adopted and deployed at scale across organizations and industries.

ALL IN's flagship event continues to be held annually in Montréal, with the 2026 edition taking place September 16-17 and expected to welcome more than 7,500 business leaders from 40 countries. The introduction of ALL IN Talks extends that momentum through targeted convenings in Canada's key economic regions, bringing the community together year-round and building toward the annual gathering in Montréal.
