The Kanata North Business Association is expanding its exhibitor space for the third annual Discover Technata event next week.
Last year’s event drew a crowd of more than 60 exhibitors and hundreds of job seekers. This year’s expo, returning to Kanata’s Brookstreet Hotel, will feature more than 70 exhibitors and is expected to be a sellout, organizers say. Attendees can expect to see a combination of tech giants and startups sharing the exhibition space.
Dubbed a “tech expo and talent hunt,” the event aims to connect those seeking employment in the tech industry, as well as general business sectors, with leaders and employers from local businesses.
