DPAA Summit Canada @ Scotiabank Theatre

In June, 2025, the DPAA (Digital Place Based Advertising Association) held their annual full-day Summit in Toronto at the Scotiabank Theatre. The night before they held their VIP Dinner at La Plume Restaurant at The Well (scrumptuous hors d'oeuvres!).

Speakers at the event included:

• Sabrina LaRosa, Senior Director of Media, Loblaws

• Neal Bouwmeester, Director of Marketing, Mazda

• Christian DiVincenzo, Director, Corporate Marketing, Samsung

• Aurelie Goffinet, Senior Brand Manager, Oikos, Danone

• Mateusz Grobel, Senior Ecommerce Manager, Danone

• Scott Nelson, Senior Vice President, Apex Exchange

• Lisa Kahn, Client President, Mindshare

• Nicolette Leonardis, Co-Founder, Vertical Impression

• Michael McKerracher, Vertical City

Always a super fun event to photograph as the folks at DPAA, including the inimitable Maestro, President & CEO, Barry Frey, always brings so much verve to the proceedings.

Here are some highlights from both events:
