Located just west of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; Kanata is a hub of captivating people with extraordinary ideas. In addition to its fascinating, talented community of thought leaders, Kanata North is also Canada’s Largest Technology Park and home to world-class companies like Mitel, Halogen, You.i.tv and QNX, to name just a few. It is the perfect landscape of business, innovation and entrepreneurship, rich in heritage and opportunity.

At TEDxKanata last year, there was tons of excitement, social media buzz, and over 275 attendees at the extremely successful, sold-out show, not only did TEDxKanata have everyone reflecting on the question of the night: ‘What does the concept of “Breaking Barriers” mean to you?’ but it also firmly established Kanata as a collaborative and inspired community that is paving the way for Canada’s future.
