Is Toronto ready for FIFA 2026?

IABC/Toronto and APEX PR brought together some industry leaders and insiders last evening for an exclusive sneak peek into what Torontonians should expect in the coming weeks.

Russell Baker from the City of Toronto, Kathy Motton from Destination Toronto, Nitish Bissonauth from Hyundai Canada, Gabrielle Totesau from Weber Shandwick Canada and Jennifer Stein from APEX PR shared how three years of planning have prepared the City and different brands for everything from welcoming 1,200 media outlets from around the world to citywide activations and extensive crisis planning.

From major brands to local shops, restaurants and businesses, Toronto is getting ready to have the residents and tourists experience the FIFA fever in fun and exciting ways (including FIFA-themed cocktails, of course!)
