Unlocking digital transformation for good
The mesh conference is back in Toronto, taking place on Dec 6-7. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be donating all proceeds from the event to Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food rescue organization and leader in perishable food redistribution.
Join us at The Symes. This architectural treasure was born of grand vision in the Art Deco era and has been restored and restyled for its 21st-century renaissance as a unique event space in Toronto.
Dates: Dec 6-7, 2023
Address: 150 Symes Road, Toronto ON M6N 0B1
We focus on innovation
Digital transformation (aka DX) is the reimagining of business in the digital age, where technology is creating new — and modifying existing — business processes.
But DX transcends the technology and is reshaping strategy, talent management and development, culture and providing new ways to pursue customer engagement. Everyone brings a different perspective on DX to the table. At mesh, we’re bringing those perspectives together.
Our mission
Our mission is to create an innovation network and event experience that helps organizations and leaders navigate digital transformation, and how to be successful at it.

The mesh innovation showcase
This program intended to recognize innovation and digital transformation leaders from underrepresented communities across Canada. Called the mesh innovation showcase, the program is run in collaboration with The51, The A100, and Platform Calgary. Learn more about the mesh innovation showcase.
Attendees come to mesh for two reasons.
-
We blow your mind on day one with ideas and inspiration, and on day two we produce practical workshops so you can tackle digital transformation when you get back to work.
-
We are the only digital transformation event that brings people from multiple industries, so you’ll cross-pollinate and find inspiration and ideas from people you don’t typically connect with — creatives, public sector employees, technologists, developers, business strategists and more.
Connecting Canadians
mesh is a national event hosted in two Canadian cities — Calgary and Toronto. Bridging the East and West is both a requirement, and our commitment.
Creating space for people to learn, build, and scale innovation takes dedication and teamwork, and a lot of amazing people.
Given that a lot of geography separates us as Canadians, we have committed to looking for ways to connect our country’s digital transformation ecosystems so we can achieve our mission. One important way we do that is by bridging the East and the West, which we do by hosting in more than one city.
We have teams, collaborators, partners and friends in Calgary and Toronto whose networks extend out from each city so we ensure mesh is meaningful and impactful on a local, regional, and national scale.
We put sponsors and speakers in front of millions of monthly people via media partners including the DX Journal, the first cross-industry publication dedicated to digital transformation. The DX Journal is part of the Digital Journal news network.
Moore Carlyle Consulting (MCC) delivers creative direction and execution for mesh. As a full-service event agency, MCC transforms mesh into a true experience for attendees in both Calgary and Toronto.
Sponsors and speakers are supported by DJG who produce content for brands at mesh. DJG produces high-quality, audience-centric content for brands including content marketing and live content creation.
