I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find such a vibrant tech community in Toronto, supporting entrepreneurs and startups through various forums, including Democamp – periodic events to demo new and exciting products and ignites to pitch startups. This is a fantastic, event for promoting your ideas, getting feedback, networking, improving presentation skills and having a good time. And there’s beer and pizza!
I found this community through some trolling on local blogs and sites, such as:
- startupnorth
- democamp
- Toronto Events Calendar
- OCE (Ontario Centres of Excellence)
- Barcamp/Torcamp
And some personal blog sites – in particular, the organizers and central figures of this specific community:
Following these people and some of the people around them on twitter has helped immensely to quickly integrate myself into the Toronto tech community and, while I’ve only just met a few of them the other night at democamp, I quickly feel as though my finger is on the pulse and I will meet many more interesting people in the near future.
For detailed info and analysis of democamp 20, search twitter via #democamp and/or #dct20. I number of people have covered all the details in their personal blogs.
Thanks for a great event and looking forward to future events and getting involved with this great and supportive community of people.
