Generis Group Named One of Canada’s Top Growing Companies 2026 by The Globe and Mail

Generis Group is pleased to announce it has ranked #157 on the 2026 Report on Business magazine ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies, marking the fifth time the company has earned a place on The Globe and Mail’s annual ranking. Generis also ranked #6 in the Marketing category.

Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Generis earned its spot with three-year revenue growth of 167% from 2022 to 2025.

“We’re incredibly proud 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. “What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it reflects sustained progress, not simply growth in scale, but growth in the strength of our business, the industries we serve and the relationships we’ve built along the way. We’ve always believed that if we stay close to our customers, keep raising the quality of what we deliver and remain willing to evolve, the opportunities will continue to grow with us. We’re proud of how far Generis has come, but we remain just as ambitious about where we can take it from here.”

The recognition marks Generis’ fifth appearance on The Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranking. Generis first earned a place on the ranking in 2019 at #120, followed by #209 in 2020. The company returned to the list in 2024 with 124% three-year revenue growth and ranked #136 in 2025 with 264% three-year growth. Generis was also separately recognized by the Financial Times and Statista among The Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies 2025, ranking #226 with an absolute growth rate of 123.9%.

“What I’m most proud of isn’t the growth itself; it’s the people behind it,” said Jason Cheddie, Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of Generis Group. “Our team has stepped up, raised the standard and consistently put the customer first. Every milestone starts with people who care deeply about what they do and take ownership in making Generis better. Everyone at Generis should take pride in this recognition, because they earned it. With the momentum we’ve built and the opportunities ahead as part of Forge, I believe the best of what Generis can become is still ahead of us.”

Generis’ continued recognition comes during an important period of evolution for the company. In August 2025, Generis was acquired by Emerald, expanding the company’s platform and opportunities for growth. In August 2026, Emerald and Questex came together under Forge, a corporate brand bringing together a global portfolio of B2B events, media brands, digital products and year-round communities. As part of Forge, Generis continues to build on its established summit model and expand its reach across North America and Europe.

“Generis has built an exceptional business with a strong position across some of the world’s most important industries,” said Paul Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Forge. “This recognition is a testament to the quality of the business and the strength of the team behind it. At Forge, our role is to make strong businesses stronger by bringing greater scale, shared capabilities and new opportunities for growth, while preserving the focus and entrepreneurial spirit that made those businesses successful in the first place. Generis has tremendous momentum, and we see significant opportunity to build on it.”
