[**Bilel Benzeman**](https://tagto.ca/)**- Director of Sales Taglialatella Gallery Toronto- Guest Speaker**

Born and raised in Paris, France, Bilel has always worked in the art world and creative industries. Having successfully advised major collectors from a young age, Bilel quickly gained recognition in the industry. Based in Toronto for the past three years, he is the Director of Sales for Taglialatella Gallery, a renowned and international contemporary institution. He will lend his knowledge in a fun Q & A format, touching on up-and-coming movements in the art world, investments in art, and his mastery for recognizing emerging talent, which he believes is the essence of the future markets.

**[Santi Forget](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UfPBuVVgrzGSQdJ3LI0mo)- Music Artist**

Santi is a singer and writer. Her soulful RnB voice with a flare of Spanish rap will take your breath away. This artist will capture your attention with her lush vocals while mixing a second language. This adds a welcome change to the classic RnB formula. The blend of these two genres and influences does more than showcase Santi’s mastery of two languages; this romantic language adds a second and deeper layer to the feelings of love Santi describes in her work.
