FUZEnation's Disruptors & Game Changers Panel is presented by MODALINA Magazine: an award-winning, luxury lifestyle, fashion and jewellery magazine. Produced and published in the Waterloo region, MODALINA boasts an internationally-recognized team of writers and photographers.
"MODALINA Media Group is excited to partner with FUZEnation on this first ever event. We recognize the importance of showcasing and celebrating our local trailblazers and influencers; sharing their stories and accomplishments through this ground-breaking summit seems naturally fitting. We are honoured to present Disruptors & Game Changers, and celebrate Waterloo as a centre of technological excellence," says Krista Bozoian, Director of Content and Advertising, MODALINA Magazine.
To coincide with FUZEnation, MODALINA magazine introduces MODALINA, Fall 2016 - The Shift Disturbers Edition which features several of FUZEnation's Disruptors & Game Changers panelists. "In this issue, we focus on the positive aspects of disruption and change. Industries that shift the perception and direction of our world, and how we operate within it. Individuals who are game-changers, creating a paradigm for others to take heed and follow or risk being left behind. So naturally, when we decided to do something a little unexpected that integrated the worlds of high-tech and high-fashion, we didn't need to look any further than our own backyard. Through this fusion, 'Tech Tonic' was born - - a fashion editorial spread that features CEOs & Founders of local (Kitchener-Waterloo) tech start-ups that are having seismic impact through the global adoption of their product and service offerings. Mix young, smart, bold thinking entrepreneurs with the latest fashion trends in haute-couture and the combination is sure to get noticed," says Marina Garabetian, Publisher/Founder, MODALINA Magazine.
