May 22 - May 23. 2026
Welcome to Winnipeg - your host city for the 2026 Empirical and Theoretical Symposium (ETSYM) for Canadian Marketing Strategy.
Taking place in May, ETSYM arrives at a great time of year, when the city starts to come alive and conversations can extend beyond the conference room. Whether you’re continuing discussions with colleagues or taking a moment to reset between sessions, Winnipeg offers a thoughtful mix of culture, creativity and space to think.
Just minutes from downtown, The Leaf provides a calm, light-filled setting to step away and recharge. Nearby, WAG–Qaumajuq offers a globally recognized collection of contemporary Inuit art - an inspiring stop for those interested in storytelling, place and perspective. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is another meaningful space for reflection, connecting ideas of ethics, leadership and impact.
If you’re exploring the city with peers, Winnipeg’s Exchange District and local dining scene offer relaxed settings for informal meetings, shared meals and continued conversations. From cafés to curated experiences, the city is well-suited to the kind of dialogue that defines ETSYM.
