WHY ATTEND TECHTO?
• The Speakers: Meet highly-curated leaders and innovators who will share their experiences and expertise. Our speakers are not here to pitch to you, but rather, to share what they’ve learned over the years, so you walk away with actionable insights.
• The Crowd: TechTO brings together a diverse crowd of tech builders, leaders, and enthusiasts.
• The Agenda: The night starts off with a chance to connect and meet someone new in the tech community. Followed by your chance to let the TechTO audience know what you're working on at our community open mic. Then our speakers take the stage for 5 TED style talks.
TechTO is lead by Alexander Norman, Co-Founder of TechTO and Canadian Partner for AngelList, and Jason Goldlist, CEO at Venue.live, Co-founder at TechTO.org.
