The Gathering Summit announces 2023 event sponsorship with Plus Company

The Gathering Summit, a global marketing event hosted in Banff, Alberta, Canada - for the purpose of elevating and expanding the summit's impact- is proud to announce its 2023 event sponsorship with Plus Company, an entrepreneurial network comprising over two dozen forward-thinking advertising and marketing firms globally. 

The Gathering, first held in 2013 in Banff Alberta, is celebrating its 10th year anniversary on Oct 18-20, 2023. Many of the most notable brand honorees from the past decade include senior executives from LA Lakers, Yeti, Barbie, Levi’s, Porsche, Marvel, Converse, UFC, Zappos, as well as Celebrity Entrepreneurs like Tony Hawk, Brene Brown, Paul Brandt, Jillian Harris and more. Many are now returning to share updated business stories and brand advice and help companies of varying sizes and life stages better engage with customers, prospects, and staff. 

Ryan Gill, co-founder of The Gathering who now serves as its Executive Producer, is delighted Plus Company is playing a large role in this year’s event, and believes after their experience this year ‘in the castle’ (slang for the incomparable 150-year-old Fairmont Banff Springs resort where the summit takes place) their participation will expand even further. 

“My team and I have done all we can do to make The Gathering the world’s best summit for business leaders to learn how to grow their companies in truly impactful ways”, said Gill. “We’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting over the last decade, but in order for The Gathering to have the transformative effect I know it can have on millions of people, we need other groups who share our passion and vision to collaborate with us, and enable our cause.”

"We are always looking for ways to provide value that benefits our clients outside of the services we provide," said Nathan Oliver, Chief Growth Officer for Plus Company. "We are inviting our clients to attend The Gathering as a venue for professional expansion and to be with peers in a creative environment to challenge one another and grow as we develop meaningful relationships within and outside our industries." 

Each year, The Gathering has been enabled by large corporate sponsors, such as SAP, Dropbox, IBM, Air Canada, tourism organizations like Destination Canada, Travel Alberta, Las Vegas Tourism, Banff Lake Louise Tourism, and several marketing agencies from the US and Canada, including Questus (NY), Ansira (Dallas), LoKnow (Edmonton), and Apex Scoring System (Toronto). This year Plus Co. will be the primary agency partner and play an important role in shaping the content and experience.

The Gathering is a Forbes Top-Rated business conference that convenes annually in Banff Alberta. Over 100 notable brands have been recognized as “Top Cult Brands” and over 10,000 executives and entrepreneurs have attended past events to hear first hand of iconic businesses that have achieved enviable levels of success and brand advocacy.
