Points Travel Festival Toronto 2026
Toronto edition of the original community-led points travel conference
Two days around YYZ: an optional Friday add-on party (for early arrivals) and a full Saturday conference with two tracks, lunch/snacks, and a big evening party. Come learn, swap strategies, and meet the points community in person.
Saturday (Apr 18): 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM (conference + evening party) • Friday add-on (Apr 17): 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (party, requires Saturday ticket)
Why attend
If you’re into points, this is the “learn it, use it, talk it through with real people” kind of weekend.
Community-led + practical
This Toronto edition is built for real-world award travel and earning strategies, with plenty of time for networking. Topics and the detailed schedule may be adjusted, with a full session schedule coming closer to the event.
- Beginner to advanced strategies
- Two concurrent tracks so you can pick what fits
- Planned networking moments (registration, breaks, lunch, parties)
