Last week, Toronto hosted Tech Week. A city-wide celebration filled with events and workshops revolving around the Technology sector.
I had such a great time and wanted to share with you my experience and reasons to attend Tech Week in your city or nearest city hosting it.
Additionally I want to share some tips and suggestions to elevate your experience.
First of all, Tech Week is a great opportunity to learn new things. I listened to talks and participated in workshops where I learned about cutting edge technologies such as the latest quantum computers and agentic protocols.
It is also an opportunity to broaden your horizons and step out of your comfort zone. For instance I attended one morning of lectures and panels on how the public sector is handling AI adoption and ways to enable efficient collaboration between the public and private sectors. I have never worked in the public sector so it was a good opportunity for me to get a better understanding of the landscape and mechanisms in place in the sector.
