About Meet Magento Canada 2025
Meet Magento Canada 2025 was a one-day Magento and Adobe Commerce conference held on 13 November 2025 at Montecassino, 3710 Chesswood Drive in North Toronto — the first Meet Magento ever held in Canada. It was organised by Snapdragon Media, the team behind Meet Magento New York, with host Marsha Naidoo and scandiweb as co-organiser and headline sponsor. Business and technical sessions, selected by an independent committee, focused on practical case studies, Hyvä best practices, AI and real merchant outcomes for merchants, retailers, developers, marketers and solution providers, and the day closed with an afterparty. The full programme is on the official Meet Magento Canada website.
