Event Overview
The 2026 Canada’s Marketing Hall of Legends Awards Gala is here. Join us as we celebrate our newest inductees, the Legends behind some of Canada’s most iconic brands, ideas, and movements.
Legends Among Us is an evening designed to bring the marketing community together to celebrate the Legends whose creativity, leadership, and influence continue to shape the industry today, alongside this year’s Marketers-on-the-Rise.
The night is built for connection, energy, and discovery. The AWARDS CELEBRATION opens into a vibrant, free-flowing experience across two connected spaces with food stations, cocktails, and conversation throughout. At the center is the inductee gallery, where each story comes to life, with live induction moments unfolding around you as the evening builds.
For those looking to elevate the experience, LEGENDS CIRCLE offers exclusive early access before doors open. This intimate pre-reception gives you first access to the inductee gallery and the opportunity to connect in a more personal setting. It is a more curated, more elevated way to begin the night.
Last year’s gala sold out. This is not a traditional awards event, it is the night the industry shows up.
