This October we will mesh people and the built environment to explore what’s needed to build our future. We will mesh people who design and make space with all of us who use it, to discuss talent development, new business models, emerging technology, resilience and sustainability, and how all of this impacts our society at large. We’ll showcase practical innovation and connect you with the innovators who are transforming the places where we live, work and play (learn more).

Networking

Attendees come to mesh for two reasons.

  1. We blow your mind on day one with ideas and inspiration, and on day two we produce practical workshops so you can tackle digital transformation when you get back to work.

  2. We are the only digital transformation event that brings people from multiple industries, so you’ll cross-pollinate and find inspiration and ideas from people you don’t typically connect with — creatives, public sector employees, technologists, developers, business strategists and more.

The mesh innovation showcase

This program intended to recognize innovation and digital transformation leaders from underrepresented communities across Canada. Called the mesh innovation showcase, the program is run in collaboration with The51, The A100, and Platform Calgary. Learn more about the mesh innovation showcase.

Connecting Canadians

mesh is a national event hosted in two Canadian cities — Calgary and Toronto. Bridging the East and West is both a requirement, and our commitment.

Creating space for people to learn, build, and scale innovation takes dedication and teamwork, and a lot of amazing people.

Given that a lot of geography separates us as Canadians, we have committed to looking for ways to connect our country’s digital transformation ecosystems so we can achieve our mission. One important way we do that is by bridging the East and the West, which we do by hosting in more than one city.

We have teams, collaborators, partners and friends in Calgary and Toronto whose networks extend out from each city so we ensure mesh is meaningful and impactful on a local, regional, and national scale.

Calgary and Toronto

Thank you
