What We Learned at the ROI Forum (and What’s Coming Next)

Hey SponsorshipX Community,

Last week, we hosted the inaugural ROI Forum in Vancouver—and something clicked.

Not just another conference. Not just another room full of smart people saying smart things.

This was a proving ground for what matters most in our industry. Where we didn’t just talk about metrics—we unpacked them, challenged them, and redefined what real impact looks like.

Across a packed few days, we saw standing-room-only workshops, high-voltage podcast tapings, and more than a few mic-drop moments on the mainstage. And to top it all off, the JUNOS | Skip Orange Carpet capped things in style—hosting the stars, the stories, and the energy of our community in full colour.

None of it would’ve happened without our amazing partners and contributors—Two Circles, PNE, YouGov, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Elevent, CBC/Radio-Canada Max, Blueprint, Parallel 49, T1, Explore Edmonton, Humanity, and the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival—who helped turn a bold idea into a living, breathing case study in modern sponsorship.

If you weren’t there—don’t worry. This was just the beginning.

Coming November 12–15, 2025: The SponsorshipX Changemakers Summit

Hosted by the Northern Super League

It’s not a sequel. It’s a whole new chapter. A place for bold ideas, real tools, and powerful community to collide—with a clear mission: creating change through sponsorship, business, and culture.

We’ll kick things off this May with the official launch and new content to build momentum all the way to November.

Until then, stay close.
