This June, The City of Brampton's Innovation and Technology team participated in the Collision Conference, one of the world's largest tech conferences. We saw nearly 38,000 attendees, and had one of the most attended booths at the conference - which was an overwhelming success.
In the lead-up to the conference, Collision in collaboration with the City of Brampton, hosted an exclusive, invite-only event called The Gathering in Brampton. This event featured 200 international startups.
Scroll below to see some highlights from The Gathering and Collision and some great events happening in July that will keep the momentum going!
