May 26–29, 2026 | Toronto, Ontario
Join us the first evening of RVC 2026 for the ‘Welcome To Canada’ reception! Raise a glass, sample some hors d’oeuvres, and meet your fellow RVC 2026 attendees within surroundings unique to Toronto. Engage with Buyers and Sellers in a relaxed atmosphere after a long first day on the floor. Transportation will be taken care of, so you just have to show up and enjoy yourself.
Destination Canada’s Inside Track provides Rendez-vous Canada Sellers with updates and insights on our key international markets to help them make the most of their time at the event. Representatives from each of Destination Canada’s key markets shared overviews and in-depth insights into their market. Ultimately, these presentations should inspire Sellers and help them market Canada by answering questions about key travel trends in the marketplace, such as how the market has changed over the past few years and what buyers from various markets are looking for.
The heart of Rendez-vous Canada are the appointment sessions! Pack your itinerary with as many as it will allow (that’s 78 appointments in total, or 26 a day) and meet with your colleagues in the travel and tourism industry. You’ll have to get right down to business, though—starting this year, appointments are only 10 minutes long, with three minutes allotted for you to move to your next one.
For 90 minutes every day, we shut down the floor and usher our guests into a majestic dining room where they can sit down and enjoy a full-service lunch. We hope you will have worked up an appetite from a morning packed with appointments! It also gives them an opportunity to learn about our sponsors, some of whom are responsible for bringing the lunch to you. So sit back, enjoy a meal, and continue networking with those buyers or sellers you met in the morning!
Buyers, sellers, and media are invited to learn more about RVC’s host by participating in one of the Rendez-vous Canada City Tours ahead of the actual convention. Whether you choose to explore the urban surroundings, immerse yourself in local culture, or sample some of the city’s fine food, these experiences will leave both informed and fulfilled.
One of the most anticipated events at every Rendez-vous Canada is the host night, which takes place on the penultimate evening. Our hosts are planning a memorable evening at one of the city’s tourist landmarks, so be prepared to let your hair down and raise a glass to RVC and the tourism industry in Canada.
