Collision heading to Toronto

Collision, North America’s fastest-growing tech conference, will build on the Toronto region’s momentum as a hub for technology and innovation, by holding its gathering in the city in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Toronto will host the 2019 conference May 20–23 at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place.

Collision, created by the team behind Web Summit, the world’s largest and most influential tech event, attracts CEOs of the world’s largest companies, founders of exciting startups, leading investors and media, from more than 120 countries. “There is such energy in the city, such an open, cosmopolitan and global atmosphere. Great companies are being started and incredible talent is coming out of the region,” says Paddy Cosgrave, CEO of Web Summit. It will be the first time the conference will be held outside of the U.S. “Hosting a conference of this magnitude demonstrates how meetings and events can be a powerful catalyst for economic development for sectors like technology and innovation, showcasing and elevating the booming tech industry, people and companies that have made the Toronto region a tech powerhouse,” says Johanne Bélanger, president and CEO of Tourism Toronto.
