We need you to help us conduct a deep drive into existing events to ensure we can be at the table for the most impactful events and important conversations in Canadian technology.
By the end of this project, you will have compiled information related to all technology-related events in Canada, conferences, timelines, deadlines to apply to speak or be a panelist, fees if associated and sponsorship toolkits. You will send us all of your research on the topic. As well, you will also summarize which seem the most realistic, which are the most interesting and provide us with a recommendation.
