Toronto’s Tech Scene Just Got Its Own Week and It’s Big!
Toronto is getting its own massive, community-led tech takeover this June. After the departure of Collision, the city is stepping up in a big way with the launch of Toronto Tech Week, aiming to draw more than 10,000 people across five days packed with events, energy, and innovation.
Happening from June 23 to 27, this inaugural event isn't just a conference. It's a full-blown citywide celebration of tech, startups, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Think 100 plus events hosted by some of Canada’s most exciting names in the space, including Google Cloud, Shopify, Wealthsimple, Cohere, DMZ, and dozens of grassroots partners.
What makes it different? It’s built from the ground up by people who actually live and breathe the Toronto tech scene — not imported or top-down. The vibe is more block party meets pitch day than stuffy panels and VIP lanyards.
Key Takeaways
Made by the Community, for the Community
Toronto Tech Week is being organized by a volunteer-run nonprofit, not a big-ticket event company. It's open, inclusive, and intentionally grassroots.
100 Plus Events and Counting
Expect everything from early morning founder meetups to hands-on product demos, panels, networking, and after-hours socials that actually feel social.
Filling the Collision Gap
By taking over the same June time slot Collision used to occupy, the event helps Toronto stay on the global radar as a thriving tech hub.
Why It Matters: For aspiring and current entrepreneurs, this is your chance to plug into the heart of Canada’s innovation ecosystem. Whether you’re building something, funding something, or just curious about the scene, Toronto Tech Week is shaping up to be the go-to space for connection, discovery, and possibility.
It’s also a big reminder that the future of tech in Canada doesn’t belong to Silicon Valley imports. It belongs to communities that know how to build things differently. And Toronto? It's ready to show how it's done.
