Kyle Baptista is a community organizer with two decades of knee-deep experience and expertise in the areas of distributed networks, grassroots organizing, civic engagement and creative exploration.

His work in these fields has been amplified by a national student network of 10,000 international development advocates at Engineers Without Borders Canada while serving as their first Creative Director (2007 – 2012), a city-wide volunteer community of 150+ grassroots park community groups in Toronto as Park People’s Communications, Events, Fundraising & Community Manager (2012 – 2016), and over 200 chapters of the global creative speaker series CreativeMornings, where he served first as Chief Operating Officer and then Chief Community Officer (2016 – 2023).

A large group of people are gathered indoors at an event titled "Toronto Park Summit" displayed on a screen in the background. The venue is filled with informational booths and banners, including signs for "Park People" and TD Bank. Attendees are engaged in conversations and browsing various displays. The atmosphere appears lively and collaborative, with participants networking and sharing ideas. The setting suggests a community event focused on parks and urban green spaces.

As a host and facilitator of 1500+ events that have welcomed over 500,000 people, Kyle is fascinated by the connections people make with each other and the opportunity that forms around each of those connections.
