CDM Summit Victoria 2027: Your Attendee Guide

CDM Summit Victoria 2027 runs Friday, January 29, 2027, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Sherri Bell Hall, Camosun College Lansdowne Campus, 3100 Foul Bay Rd, Victoria, BC. It is a one-day, practitioner-led marketing conference with 100 seats, and this guide covers everything you need to plan the trip: the day itself, tickets, getting there, parking, transit, and where to stay.

Who is speaking
Announced so far, with more to come:

The full agenda is still being finalized, and this guide will be updated as speakers and sessions lock in. The confirmed lineup always lives on the event page.
What the day looks like
CDM Summit is built for practitioners, not spectators. The day mixes keynote sessions from people doing the work, a hands-on workshop, and Show and Tell™, where the room questions, challenges, and builds on real campaigns together. Nobody just sits and listens. Between sessions there is real time for coffee and conversation, which is where a lot of the value of a 100-person room actually happens. Doors and session times within the day will be confirmed with the final agenda.
After the conference: the afterparty
The day does not end at 3:00 PM. LampPost Social is organizing the official CDM Summit Victoria afterparty, the same crew that ran it last year. It is the unstructured part of the day: drinks, the people you met between sessions, and the conversations that did not fit into the agenda. Venue and start time will be shared with attendees closer to the date.
Getting there
Driving and parking: The Lansdowne Campus is at the corner of Foul Bay Rd and Lansdowne Rd, between downtown Victoria and Oak Bay. Paid visitor parking is available on campus in the College's lots.
Transit: BC Transit buses serve the campus directly. Routes 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, and 15 stop at or beside the Lansdowne Campus, including the Route 4 between downtown and UVic. Check BC Transit for schedules as the date gets closer.
From the ferry or the airport: Swartz Bay ferry terminal and Victoria International Airport are both roughly a 30-minute drive north of the city. If you are coming from the mainland for the day, the morning sailings get you to Victoria in time for the 10:00 AM start, and the conference wraps at 3:00 PM.
Where to stay
There is no official conference hotel. Downtown Victoria is the easiest base: it has the widest choice of hotels, it is about a 10 to 15 minute drive or a direct bus ride from the campus, and it puts you near the Inner Harbour for the evening before. If you prefer to be closer to the venue, look at the Oak Bay and Hillside areas near the campus.
Tickets
Ticket prices are in Canadian dollars, plus 5% GST, and every ticket includes lunch:
- Presale: $125, until November 15, 2026
- Early Bird: $149, from November 16, 2026
- General Admission: $175, from January 1, 2027
- Last Call: $199, from January 23, 2027
There are 100 seats. Victoria sold out a month early the last time CDM Summit ran here, so the earlier tiers are the safer bet as well as the cheaper one.
