For our sponsors and speakers, we’re hosting an exclusive Pre-Party at the Canadian Staffing Summit! This invite-only gathering offers the perfect opportunity to connect with industry leaders and fellow changemakers in a relaxed, intimate setting. Enjoy engaging conversations, build meaningful relationships, and spark new collaborations before the main event begins. It’s the ideal way to set the stage for the summit and ensure you're networking with the best in the business!

A forward-looking session exploring how automation, AI, and new value propositions are reshaping the traditional staffing and recruiting model. We’ll break down the emerging business models gaining traction worldwide, spotlight practical, real-world automations agencies are using today to reduce headcount and boost operational efficiency, and paint a clear picture of what “work” looks like as the industry moves beyond the classic professional-services framework.

This keynote is led by Bill Boorman, who brings 42 years of experience across the recruiting landscape—combining hands-on practice with deep market analysis. As an analyst with the AIM Group, Bill’s work centers on emerging hiring technology, shifting market dynamics, and the evolving economics of talent. He sits on multiple boards guiding practical applications of AI in recruiting and advises companies on aligning tech, process, and human capability. His perspective is grounded in real-world execution and continuous research, giving staffing leaders clear, actionable insight into what’s coming next.

Now in its fourth year, the Canadian Staffing Industry Summit’s CEO Panel brings back the same trusted leaders who have shaped this conversation since day one. Their continuity offers a rare long-view on the industry’s shifts and challenges. While specific topics will be set closer to the summit, expect a candid, unfiltered conversation on the issues that matter most to staffing leaders today.

Join us for an inspiring panel featuring successful Canadian staffing owners who will share their journeys of growth and resilience. These industry leaders will discuss how they expanded their businesses while navigating various challenges, from economic shifts to changing market demands. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the strategies that enabled them to maintain focus and drive growth, even in difficult times. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from their experiences and gather practical tips to apply to your own staffing business!
