This was our first year participating as an exhibitor and keynote speaker at the Small Business Summit and we will definitely be back. The Summit offered us access to top business owners looking for new ideas and opportunities to expand their customer base and grow their knowledge. The exchange of ideas at every booth was inspiring and the contacts made, invaluable. Not to mention the event organizers who were amazing to work with leading up to the Summit and 'day of'. Hats off to everyone involved in making the day a great success.

CanadianSME Summit 2025 was a powerful showcase of how AI is transforming small businesses. As a panellist and exhibitor, I connected with leaders who are not just talking about innovation but actively building it. I left inspired, informed, and excited for what AI will unlock for entrepreneurs across Canada. The AI conversations at the CanadianSME Summit were energizing. I was proud to contribute on stage and through my exhibitor booth, helping business owners understand how AI can simplify operations and drive smarter decisions. It felt like a milestone in our small business community's digital transformation. Thank you, CanadianSME, for what you do for small businesses.

What an incredible experience it was for our team to be part of the Canadian SME Small Business Summit! Being surrounded by so many passionate entrepreneurs, leaders, and change makers reminded us exactly why we do what we do at Biztomate, "to stand with small businesses, make growth simpler, and turn great ideas into real impact."

It was energizing to participate in the SME Summit. We were able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the small businesses that are the backbone of Canada’s economy. We heard a lot about AI’s potential and how SMEs can benefit from this technology. Now it's time for big businesses like Sage to step up and make sure SMEs aren't left behind, that means championing SME-first policies, building trust in the tech, and making digital adoption accessible, not intimidating.

This was my first time attending the Canadian SME Small Business Show and my first time having a booth at a trade show. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. We had people stopping by every five minutes. I made some great contacts and was able to expand my network. A (business) day well spent!
