On Thursday, June 16, 2022, ICON held its first event following the COVID-19 pandemic when we hosted over 100 business leaders, philanthropists, and members from the Autism community from across Canada to our 4th Annual Charity Dinner Party in support of the Geneva Centre for Autism (GCA). Throughout the night, guests were able to hear from leaders in businesses like The Toronto Zoo, Seneca College, BMO Capital Markets, and Spicers Canada along with leaders on the Spectrum and how they were able to adapt to the changes brought about by the pandemic. Together, we were able to raise over $41,000 with all proceeds going to the GCA as they continue to serve over 3000 families in Toronto by providing clinical programs and services to individuals with ASD.

Whether it’s due to safety concerns, strict in-store capacities, or limited disposable income, many businesses have lost momentum in their customer relationships throughout the past year. Rebuilding confidence and loyalty will be key to welcoming back shoppers. It’s probable that the effects of COVID-19 on behaviour will outlast the pandemic – how do we encourage our audience to re-engage after forming major changes in spending habits?
