Canada knocked. Calgary answered.
On September 27–28, 2025, D2DCon crossed the border for the first time. Canada's door-to-door reps, managers and owners filled the TELUS Convention Centre for two days of keynotes, panels, workshops, a 19-vendor floor and the first Maple Door awards.
D2DCon, built for Canada.
D2DCon Canada took what made the flagship event in Utah the biggest room in door-to-door and built a version for the Canadian market, with speakers who sell in Canadian neighbourhoods, Canadian winters and under Canadian rules.
The main stage and vendor floor ran in Macleod Hall on the lower level of the TELUS Convention Centre (136 8th Ave SE). Workshops and panels ran upstairs in the Glen Rooms on level 2, with Garret Myers and Danielle Cook hosting the rooms both days.
Outside the hall, the Love Your Lanyard program got attendees discounts and free appetizers at local Calgary restaurants just for wearing their badge. Attendees could also pick up the #25 D2DCon Canada hockey jersey.
The team called it what it was: a successful first event.
Every seat at the door, in one building.
D2DCon Canada was built for every level of a door-to-door company, from the rep on their first season to the owner deciding where to expand next.
The Rep
Reps came for sharper pitches, better objection handling and the habits that separate the top 1% from everybody else on the board.
The Manager
Managers dug into recruiting, leadership and team systems: how to build a crew that produces without them standing on every doorstep.
The Owner
Owners got their own lunch and workshop with Sam Taggart on Day 1, plus sessions on systems and scale from operators running multi-city Canadian teams.
Four keynotes. Zero filler.
Daniel G headlined the main stage on Day 1. Day 2 closed with Tim Mulcahy, Sam Taggart, the Maple Door awards and Lady JB Owen, in that order.
Started knocking doors in Toronto and has since trained more than 2 million sales pros. Sam recorded a D2D Podcast episode with him backstage.
Sold Filter Queen vacuums door to door at 16 and was the top seller by 17. He has founded or co-founded 25+ sales companies, including Energy Savings Group (now Just Energy), which grew to up to $4B a year in sales.
Founder of D2DCon and The D2D Experts. Sam also led the owners-only lunch and workshop on Day 1.
Knighted by the Royal Order of St. Constantine the Great and St. Helen and winner of the 2022 Ignite Humanitarian Award. She closed the event with the story of riding 150 km every day.
The program.
Mornings on the main stage, panels and workshops across Rooms A to F, and a vendor floor that stayed busy between every block.

29 reps earned the Maple Door.
From July 1 to August 31, 2025, Canadian reps chased their industry's monthly target. Hit it in one month and you earned a single Maple Door. Hit it in both and you earned a double. Every winner was verified with their manager, VP or owner before being awarded on the Day 2 main stage.
