What is Inside Google Ads Live?
12 Google Ads Experts. Zero Fluff. This is NOT just another marketing conference.
We’ve gathered the Canadian Google Ads experts who usually speak on the world’s biggest stages and kept them home for one exclusive day. Usually, seeing a lineup like this requires a flight to California or the UK, a $2,000 ticket, and three days out of the office. We’re changing the model.
- 100% Google Ads: No need to sit through generic or irrelevant talks. Each session is by and for advanced Google Ads practitioners.
- The "No-Fluff" Rule: Every speaker has 25 minutes. No long backstories. No sales pitches. Just tactical advice you can apply first thing Monday morning, with time for Q&A in every single session.
- Proudly Canadian: An all-Canadian, diverse speaker line-up, with all-Canadian food, drinks, and more. #CanadaStrong
Don't book a flight. Just take the TTC.

Buy Your Ticket NowWait a minute... this conference is at the CN Tower? Like THE CN Tower?
Yes! Inside Google Ads Live is proudly hosted at one of the most iconic buildings in Canada, if not the entire world.
The sessions will take place in the Maple Leaf Cinema, located in the base of the CN Tower. With angled seating and a movie-sized screen, the audio and visual experience will be excellent from all 140 seats. Of course, you can grab a VIP ticket for reserved center seating and more exclusive perks.
The afternoon break and evening reception will take place in the reception area just outside the Maple Leaf Cinema. This is a private event venue just for us, with a dedicated coat room, washrooms, refreshments and more. And yes, the event is fully accessible. Please let us know in advance if you have any special mobility requirements, so we can ensure we're ready to welcome you.
After the event, CN Tower staff will be available to take you and your (new?) friends up to the famous Observation Deck for stunning Toronto views. And you can stay up there as long as you'd like! The perfect way to unwind and reflect after an action-packed day of Google Ads expertise.
I've gotta be there!Who is organizing this event?
Hey there, I'm Jyll Saskin Gales. I'm a Google Ads Coach, proud Torontonian, and the founder of the Inside Google Ads course, Inside Google Ads podcast, bestselling Inside Google Ads book series, and now... Inside Google Ads Live!
I've spoken at the top paid search conferences in the world, including SMX Advanced, Hero Conf, Friends of Search and more. I'm a regular contributor to Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal, and I run PPC Zone, a bi-monthly online event elevating diverse perspectives in our industry. And I'm ranked as the #1 Most Influential PPC Expert in the world.
As you might imagine, being an international Google Ads speaker requires a lot of travel. Europe is wonderful, but it's far, and expensive, and tiring to be hopping the pond multiple times a year. And the US... well, I don't think I need to explain why I'm not attending US-based conferences for the foreseeable future. While online events can be excellent, it's not the same as being "in the room where it happens" alongside hundreds of industry colleagues.
I created Inside Google Ads Live to strengthen the PPC community in Canada, and to elevate Toronto's Google Ads practitioners with cutting edge strategies, tactics and case studies. 2026 is our first event, and I hope it will be the start of many more!
