The Innovation City: July 18 & 19, 2012 (Toronto, ON)
Successful cities are powerful catalysts for business and innovation. To reach their potential, they must attract the human and financial capital necessary to build a sustainable and economically sound urban future.

The Innovation City will gather Mayors, City Managers, business leaders and urban thinkers from across Canada and abroad at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto on July 18 and 19, to address how we can build the cities that will shape the 21st Century and beyond. We hope you can join this important city-building dialogue. A special discounted rate has also been implemented for city officials.
