A community of communities: engineering the conditions for Toronto's tech ecosystem to collide, connect, and build together.

CONNECTING THE CIRCUIT

TORONTO'S ECOSYSTEM IS BOOMING

• Toronto Tech Week drawing thousands of professionals

• AI and ML adoption surging across every sector

• Fastest-growing developer communities in North America

• Vibrant indie maker and open-source scene

BUT A GAP REMAINS

• Big conferences: high cost, low participation, passive audiences

• Casual meetups: small reach, limited cross-community collision

• Missing: a free, builder-focused unconference at scale

• Supercollider fills the space between broadcast and hangout
