The Tribute Awards are EKO’s oldest and most prestigious means of thanking those who set unprecedented new standards so kids with disabilities and developmental needs and their families can live their best lives. Tribute Awards recipients are exemplary leaders, distinctive partnerships, and those who champion transformative initiatives. Through these awards, we encourage those in Ontario, in Canada, and around the world to celebrate the contributions of leaders, innovators, advocates, paradigm-shifting professionals and volunteers, and emerging leaders whose records reflect ongoing exceptional contributions to developmental health and a growing sphere of impact.

This partnership opportunity offers two audiences: the first at the EKO Tribute Award Presentation on October 1, 2026 at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto, where awards will be presented by former Senator Jim Munson and Ginette Munson, 2023 EKO Tribute Award recipients, at an intimate dinner event with members of the EKO Board of Directors. We’ll be celebrating new members of the exclusive club that is EKO Tribute Award recipients—several of whom will be speakers at the 2027 EKO Spring Symposium. The Spring Symposium’s 350 delegates, VIP guests, and speakers are the second audience for this Activation+ Partnership. Recognition with this Activation+ Partnership package includes all elements of the Activation Partnership and:

Let’s bring the outdoors in to create THE gathering space for delegates and special guests, located at the centre of all the action. The EKO Park and EKO Park After Dark is a vibrant, central hub where everyone meets.

Together, let’s design the go-to space for EKO Spring Symposium delegates during scheduled breaks in the program. And after dark? Meet the 2027 delegates as they meet, mix and mingle, share new knowledge, and create EKO Spring Symposium memories.

We take an inclusive and thoughtful approach to event planning designed to improve attendee experience, foster accessibility, promote self-care, and create lasting engagement. The EKO Spring Symposium 2027 is a packed program, and we recognize the value of offering delegates, speakers, and special guests sensory products to use during concurrent and plenary sessions, as well as a room designed and organized specifically to promote self-organization and positive change. This space provides delegates, presenters, and special guests with a tailored sensory input, either relaxing or stimulating, depending on the user's needs.

Let’s partner to make sure the wow factor of this live event doesn’t come at the cost of discomfort for any delegates, presenters, partners, or special guests, ensuring the EKO Spring Symposium 2027 is a consistently positive and engaging experience for all.

There are many ways to measure the success of an event. For Empowered Kids Ontario, working towards everyone’s participation is top of the list. We want to be sure everyone gets the most out of the EKO Spring Symposium 2027.

Join us and showcase your organization’s commitment to inclusion. Partner with us to ensure the EKO Spring Symposium 2027 reduces barriers for participation in an inclusive environment with features including live captioning, accessible materials, accessibility zones, and other physical, sensory, and digital considerations.
