TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Generis Group has been named one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies for 2025 by The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business magazine, ranking #136 on the list of 400 companies with verified three-year revenue growth of 264%. The company is listed within the Entertainment category of this year’s ranking.
“We are honoured to once again be recognized as one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies,” said Francesco Scalzo, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Generis Group. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication and creativity of our team, as well as the trust and support of our partners, sponsors and clients. Our focus on delivering high-value summits and innovative platforms for executives continues to drive both our growth and our impact across industries.”
Generis Group has a consistent track record of recognition for growth and innovation. The company previously ranked #120 in The Globe and Mail’s ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies (2019), #209 (2020), and returned to the list in 2024 with three-year revenue growth of 124%. In 2025, Generis was also named to the Financial Times and Statista’s Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies ranking at #226 with an absolute growth rate of 123.9%. Earlier accolades include #26 on the Growth List of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by Canadian Business and Maclean’s (2020), #183 on the Financial Times Americas list (2020), and #11 on Canadian Business’ Startup 50 ranking of new growth companies (2017).
“Our mission has always been to connect industry leaders, spark innovation, and create meaningful opportunities for growth,” said Jason Cheddie, Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of Generis Group. “Being recognized across multiple rankings over the years reinforces that we are on the right path as we continue to expand our portfolio in North America and Europe.”
This recognition comes during an exciting new chapter for the company. In August 2025, Generis Group was acquired by Emerald Holding, Inc. (NYSE: EEX), the largest U.S.-based B2B event organizer. The acquisition expands Emerald’s executive-level event portfolio and accelerates Generis’ ability to scale its proven, insight-led formats globally.
“Generis has built an exceptional platform that delivers premium value to executives and sponsors alike,” said Hervé Sedky, President and Chief Executive Officer of Emerald. “Its consistent recognition on lists such as Canada’s Top Growing Companies underscores the strength of its model, its leadership, and its team. We are excited to build on Generis’ momentum as part of Emerald, expanding our impact across North America and Europe.”
The Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranking, now in its seventh year, celebrates bold entrepreneurial businesses across the country. Winners are ranked on three-year revenue growth and represent a diverse range of sectors.
