There is no event like The Canadian Telecom Summit. Three days of unparalleled discussion and networking. A cocktail reception on Monday evening that will have a special high-tech enabled silent auction to crank it up a notch and we’re all heading downtown to watch the Blue Jays beat the Orioles on Tuesday evening.
We are proud that The Canadian Telecom Summit has become Canada’s leading industry gathering. More than 75% of the seats are already sold with 4 weeks to go. The past 3 years have been sold out, so book early!
No other event matches The Canadian Telecom Summit in the level of discussion, the opportunities for networking.
