Open houses will take place across Canada from Sept. 15-27, with companies in Ottawa opening up on the 20th.
Among the tech firms already registered for the local edition are Shopify, FarmLead and Giatec Scientific. Accelerators and coworking spaces such as L-Spark, Bayview Yards, Collab Space and Coworkly will also be showing off their digs and introducing some of their member firms to those in attendance.
