TORONTO — Generis Group has ranked 157th 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 list.

The company earned its spot with three-year revenue growth of 167% from 2022 to 2025, according to the ranking.

"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."

Generis also ranked sixth in the marketing category.

The company first appeared on the ranking in 2019 at 120th, followed by 209th in 2020. It returned to the list in 2024 with 124% three-year revenue growth and ranked 136th 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 226th 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."

Generis' continued recognition comes during a 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."
