The Canadian Tech Summit (CTS) began as a small, student-led initiative, originally known as the Toronto Tech Expo. It was created to give students a space to share projects, practice presenting ideas, and receive feedback from the tech community.

Over time, CTS evolved into a province-wide platform for student innovation, hosted in London, Ontario. The summit emphasizes hands-on demos, interactive conversations, and project-driven experiences that celebrate creativity, collaboration, and technical skill.

CTS encourages students to experiment, take risks, and connect beyond the classroom—turning ideas into tangible outcomes while building confidence and long-term connections.

At CTS, students host tables to demo their projects, explain technical decisions, and share the challenges they faced along the way. These presentations create space for meaningful, real-time feedback.

Beyond demos, the summit offers informal mentorship, networking, and open discussions with professionals across the tech sector—helping students refine communication skills and explore career paths.

Every interaction is designed to spark curiosity, conversation, and long-term impact that extends far beyond the event itself.

CTS brings students and industry together through judging, mentorship, panels, and open collaboration—allowing professionals to contribute meaningfully without heavy commitments.

Attendees explore projects at their own pace, ask questions, and engage directly with emerging ideas and technologies.

Through participation, students gain experience and recognition while industry connects with Canada’s next generation of tech talent.
