“SaaS North 2021 is designed to focus on the collaborative learning and sharing that is only possible with in-person events,” they announced in an email blast on Tuesday afternoon. “Be prepared to connect with ACTUAL people in discussion hubs, roundtables and interactive working groups.”

The event is jointly run by the Kanata-based L-Spark accelerator and Cube Business Media.
