You can’t claim we didn’t inform you. The week before Collision, North America’s fastest-growing technology event comes to Toronto on June 20, 2022, it is completely sold out.
More than 35,000 people from all over the world are expected to gather at Enercare Centre next week for the largest tech event in Canada since the outbreak began, which will include a conversation with venture capitalists Jenny Fielding (The Fund) and Jon Soberg (MS&AD Ventures) moderated by Grit Daily’s Jordan French.
The number of attendance has increased by 40%, from 25,000 in 2019 to 35,000 in 2022, as demand for in-person events grows significantly. The number of startups in attendance has increased by 36% to 1,500, surpassing the previous year’s Web Summit 2021 in Lisbon.
Snap, Google Cloud, TikTok, AWS, RBC, Siemens, KPMG, CAE, Interac, and Crypto.com are among the approximately 250 global partners in 2022, up 40% year on year. Collision’s women in tech programme, as well as the startup space, are both sold out.
The Enercare Centre’s overall floor area need has grown by 54%, from 50,000sqm to 77,000sqm. Collision will use the whole Beanfield Centre facility for the first time, as well as outside area for food trucks, seats, and circulation.
On Monday, June 20, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o, and Manbooker Prize-winning novelist Margaret Atwood will take the stage for Opening Night.
