Ready to move from “resilient” to “high-growth”? On Friday, May 22nd, the Small Business Show 2026 takes over the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) for a full day dedicated to the three non-negotiables of modern business: Technology, Capital, and Innovation.

The Future of Growth is Now

For the Black Canadian creator community, 2026 is the year of the “CreatorPreneur.” We’re moving beyond just making content—we’re building scalable businesses. This show is designed to give you the roadmap to do exactly that.

The event is built on three core pillars:

1. Mastering Technology: Using AI and automation to stop doing the “busy work” and start focusing on high-level strategy.
2. Mastering Capital: Finding the fuel for your growth through strategic financing and funding pathways.
3. Mastering Innovation: Building a business model that doesn’t just survive but thrives long-term.

What’s on the Agenda?

The day is packed with 10 hours of high-value networking and learning:

Real-World Case Studies: Meet the entrepreneurs who have already combined tech and capital to win.

Keynote Sessions: Visionaries and digital pioneers breaking down new trends.

Expert Panels: Deep dives into the most urgent concerns for SMEs, including building inclusive workplaces and responding to global consumer shifts.
