🚀 1RG Incubator: demo day
Earlier this spring we launched the 1RG incubator to support projects at the intersection of community and technology, and invited 6 folks to join our first batch for 12 weeks of co-creation. Each of them had an idea for making Toronto a little better, and they're ready to share what they've been working on.
Join us for an evening of exploration centred around community. Think demo day meets science fair - each participant will have a booth where you can dive deep into their project, ask questions, and maybe even get involved. There will be delicious food, good conversations, and probably some new connections you didn't expect to make.
Use access code COMMUNITY to get a free ticket for you and your guest(s).

📱A workshop on being online
We're excited to host Dan Seljak and his Being Online workshop as part of Toronto Tech Week.
Dan is passionate about getting people excited in participating in civic life and restoring agency to citizen by delivering clear, informative, and fun messaging on how to engage communities and municipalities. This workshop is NOT a session on gaining more followers, but rather advice on how to translate one self into an online persona that feels genuine, and has real world impact.
Date: Monday, June 23rd
Time: 6-9pm
