Strategic Management and Planning Conferences in Canada 2026
Our strategic management and planning conferences in Canada are in-person research events held across the Greater Toronto Area, where papers on how organizations choose a strategy and carry it out are presented and questioned.
A paper is not required to take part. Authors present their work, while listeners book their own ticket to follow the talks, the panels and the questions.
For a visa application, the invitation letter comes with the ticket at no extra cost and names the dates and host city of your edition.

A Strategy Conference in Canada Held Across the GTA
The calendar moves between Vaughan, Oakville, Markham, Toronto, Pickering, Burlington, Oshawa, Brampton, Mississauga, Richmond Hill and Ajax.
Vaughan and Markham are York Region cities that border Toronto along Steeles Avenue, Vaughan to the north-west and Markham to the north-east. Oakville lies to the south-west, on the Lake Ontario shore in Halton Region.
Toronto Pearson International Airport, in Mississauga, is the main international airport serving all of these host cities.
A Canadian visitor visa is valid for Canada as a whole, so it covers travel to whichever of these cities hosts your date.
Why Delegates Can Rely on Us
MS International Conferences Inc. runs every conference in person in the Greater Toronto Area under the same rules, and they are set out again on each event page. These are the commitments that apply to every registration.
What Strategic Management Conferences Cover
Strategy research at these editions runs from the theory itself to the data tools and sustainability pressures now reshaping it. The seven cards below come from the research aims listed on our event pages.
Research areas in the objectives
Your topic not on a card? Strategy work outside these seven can still fit; the call for papers on your date’s event page defines what that edition accepts. Read it before you write your abstract.

Submission and Registration Timeline

What Fills a Day at Our Strategic Management Conferences
The same six parts make up every edition, whichever host city it is held in.
Publishing Opportunities for Researchers
A strategy paper accepted by our reviewers still has one more reader: once you have presented it, we forward it to a journal or proceedings, which decides for itself whether to publish it. Where it is accepted sets whether the number it gets is an ISBN, a DOI or an ISSN.
