ABOUT

Welcome to commonsku’s CEO Summit!

Catherine and I have always loved hosting customers who visit us in Toronto. Over the years, we have enjoyed many visits from customers where we get to know each other better, share our vision for the future as well as get the chance to show off our city.

So we asked ourselves what would happen if we invited 20 executives from our distributor customers to share in a day of learning, collaboration and fun with us and our executive team?

Our goal is to create an event that brings together some of the most successful business people in the industry for a day of learning, best practice sharing, peer learning, high level commonsku roadmap discussion as well as collecting feedback on ways we can continue to drive value for you.

The invitation only event will be led by ourselves and several members of the commonsku executive team.

We can’t wait to see you in Toronto,

Mark and Catherine

SCHEDULE

The CEO Summit is commonsku's invite-only event — about 15-20 CEOs from distributor customers get together in Toronto for a day of peer learning and collaboration. The core format is small breakout groups where everyone shares real challenges and best ideas on peer-driven topics like talent, client experience, etc. commonsku's leadership team hosts and weaves in platform updates and open discussions throughout the day.

This session gives everyone a snapshot of who's in the room and where the aggregate stands across key business metrics. It's less about comparing and more about context: understanding the landscape you're operating in alongside peers who share similar challenges and opportunities.

This 90-minute working session + open discussion with commonsku Dir of AI Operations, Eku Malcolm, bridges that gap — giving you practical strategies for building shared AI tools, scaling adoption beyond your own desk, and creating the habits that turn a cool experiment into a real competitive advantage.
