WHO WE ARE

On June 18th, 2025, the espnW Summit Canada presented by Canadian Tire returns to Toronto for its third year, bringing together visionaries to challenge the status quo, inspire action, and spark meaningful change.

With the highly anticipated launch of the Northern Super League this spring, the continued success of the PWHL, and the growing excitement for the Toronto Tempo’s debut in 2026, women’s sports in Canada are at a pivotal moment. The conversations at the upcoming Summit will reinforce a powerful truth: investing in women’s sports isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. As momentum continues to build, we look forward to another year of growth, innovation, and impact.

These two sister agencies offer brand marketing and partnerships services focused on elevating the potential of sport, culture and community. When TTG founder Andrea Shaw attended the espnW Summit in 2016, she left feeling inspired to work with espnW to bring the Summit to Canada. Her vision was to gather professionals north of the border, and advance women's sport in this market.
