This week was a testament to how influential Canada and its people truly are.
Before writing this, I spent the last hour just scrolling through everyone's LinkedIn recaps from the last few days. I couldn't stop smiling. Seeing familiar faces, and so many new ones, coming together, showing love for their city, and proving to the world just how talented we are.
Now more than ever, I truly believe Canadians are the ones shaping the future of the industry and the AI landscape.
Where do I even begin:
⬩CEOs and founders from Cohere, Shopify, Wealthsimple, and Boardy were casually walking the city.
⬩Panels, and surprisingly, student panels, happened daily.
⬩Company HQs opened their doors to everyone.
⬩Hackathons, yacht parties, rooftop dinners, and happy hours filled the GTA.
I could go on about all the amazing things this week brought, but the most important thing? We actually talked with each other.
I spoke to so many people who told me these were their very first events, and some of the most life-changing experiences they’ve ever had.
I've never seen this city brighter, more active, and patriotic.
Super humbled to have met all of you. What an honour to finally put socials to a face.
Feeling so blessed to call myself a Canadian. 🇨🇦
