How to Plan Better Corporate Events

December 15, 2025

For over 8 years, StartWell has played host to hundreds of corporate teams, and thousands of people in downtown Toronto - gathering for all types of internal and external sessions.

We've learned a lot along the way, and these lessons have informed the constant evolution of our campus in downtown Toronto - and are now being shared through this video series.

With a focus on enabling groups of 20 - 200 people to come together in privacy with comfort thanks to integrated hospitality and media services, our campus is is uniquely positioned to enable, and learn from the diverse array of corporate events we support.

This first video in the series is a masterclass providing an introductory overview for anyone planning sessions for their company.

Whether you are an Executive Assistant, work in People Operations or Human Resources, or are a leader interested in higher levels of engagement when you bring your team together in person - we're sure you'll enjoy watching our Corporate Events 101 session, led by Qasim Virjee (StartWell's Founder & CEO.)
