CONFERENCE | TEDx Toronto
A collection of successful Canadians like Maestro Fresh Wes, Matthew Good, and Stephanie Guthrie (to name a few) will speak on the topic of choices and how just one can shape an entire career at this year's TEDx Toronto. Inspiring, entertaining and sometimes heartbreaking, TEDx Toronto is designed to make audiences leave feeling motivated--whether you roll your eyes at that or not indicates how much you'd enjoy the conference and lectures. The official after party takes place at UNIUN and tickets can be purchased through the TEDx Toronto website. The party is 19+.

FIXED is theatre for the mobile generation. Inspired by the life of Grindr inventor Alan Turing, this Zack Russell play tells the story of Gayle, the creator of an app for men that broadcasts potential hook-ups into users homes.
