What People Are Saying

Hear from attendees and industry leaders about their experiences and takeaways from the event.

“As a recent grad and startup founder I was able to briefly meet Brice earlier this summer at NEXT Canada, hearing about his journey was not only informative but also inspiring as it teaches young Canadians to broaden their horizons and think big. I can’t wait to get more in depth with him at this more intimate gathering.”
