skucamp is designed for the owner, C-level manager or senior-level staff within a supplier or a distributor. If you are on the upswing of your career and are making waves in your organization, you should be at skucamp.
What is skucamp? Three days with branded merchandise professionals who've been there. No theory. No hype. Just smart scaling, strong leadership, and strategies that actually work.
It’s straight talk from operators who've cracked the growth-code + big ideas from outside experts. All in beautiful Montreal, where European sophistication meets North American hustle, where the espresso is as strong as the ideas, and taking time to think feels less like luxury and more like necessity.
Join us for a rare chance to work on your business, not just in it.
Pack light. Think big. See you there!
We have an incredible speaker line-up this year, including keynote speakers, a distributor panel, industry experts, a supplier panel and more! Stay tuned for the full speaker and schedule announcement coming in March 2026.

Hi there skucampers,
In 2026, skucamp is going international!
Since launching skucamp in 2017, we’ve gathered in some pretty incredible places across the US: Palm Springs, Austin, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Brooklyn, and Scottsdale. Every one of them has been a smash hit, filled with unforgettable conversations, connections, and late nights.
And almost everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve heard the same question: « When is skucamp going international? »
Back at commonsku HQ, we’ve always had a shortlist of dream destinations. Montréal has been on it from day one. So for 2026, we’re thrilled to bring the skummunity to one of our favourite cities.
With its European charm, cobblestone streets, legendary food (yes, poutine), incredible music, nightlife, architecture, and a creative, urban energy, Montréal just felt right for skucamp.
The William Gray Hotel in Old Montréal will be our home for skucamp. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the old quarter, extremely comfortable and effortlessly cool.
See you in September!
Mark and Catherine
