The panel discussion will critically examine Toronto's proposed naming rights and sponsorship policies that will permit the expansion of advertising in our public realm, including corporate names for children's playgrounds, parks, and public services, as well as logos, signage, and other advertising forms in public spaces and services.

The panel of renowned experts will each give their position on the issues of advertising in general in our society, and on the policies facing Toronto in particular, offering unique insights into the realm of advertising and the role it plays in our democracy, society, psychology, and even our health.
