// Tyl van Toorn
Tyl has established himself in the arts, entertainment and action sports industries over the course of his 17-year career in event management. He is regarded for his ability to develop strategic relationships between his clients, corporate sponsors, local businesses and government.
With a reputation for strong execution of projects, he has been instrumental in Canadian, US and European projects, including large commercial media events like the ESPN X Games in Los Angeles and Aspen and the FIS World Snowboard Championships in Whistler, the largest televised event of its kind.
More recently, Tyl has undertaken developing new initiatives such as transmission, an international, future focused music and digital technology think-tank where creators and leaders come together every year to shape new ways of connecting artists to audiences.
Following the success of transmission, Tyl went on to develop a four-day trade mission in 2008 to Beijing, transmitCHINA. Back for its second year, transmitCHINA will be exploring new markets while building and strengthening relationships between the music industries in Canada and China.
