We Are Wearables is back at our home at MaRS and this month we are celebrating the Toronto Wearable Ecosystem. We the North, We Are Wearables! 

We are bringing the TO wearables family together to reconnect YOU with many of the startups we have featured over the past 2.5+ years including Nymi, Kiwi, MetaVRse, Subpac, Magniware (Rthm), BreqLabs, TritonWear, QTemp, Sonic Wear, InteraXon (Muse), Proto3000, Globacore, OMERS Ventures, Myant, Neutun Labs and Awake Labs.

PLUS the original Canadian Google Glass Explorers reunite to chime in on the growing smart glasses space. 

**We have 15 startups in the demo area at this event**

Toronto is a major centre of innovation for wearable tech. Join us in a night of fireside chats, demos and networking to celebrate this space and find out where it is headed.
