Techweek, a travelling technology expo for entrepreneurs, tech visionaries and thought leaders to meet and “enable the innovation ecosystem in cities across the globe” is celebrating its fifth anniversary by expanding into Toronto. Founded in Chicago in 2011, the seven-day conference will also visit seven American cities, including New York and Los Angeles. Techweek is slated for the week of July 25 to July 31 in Toronto. In total, eight cities the travelling expo will visit this year should attract over 40,000 attendees.
