Collision, the fastest growing conference in North America, is coming to Toronto. See you in 2019.
I meet personalty Paddy and I believe the good feel, the connections The networking and the environment is great it's a great Hub and the best Conference that I belong and I participate every year since I start, thanks Collision Conf and Padd.
Wow! Such a great event. I was a speaker guest this year but have come back to my company Hawk Ridge Systems saying we need to be in Toronto next year.
Just wish those exhibiting spaces would be just a little bit bigger than what they were. Otherwise, loved the networking part & some of the speeches. The recycling drive was also awesome.
Biggest Ripoff, Cancelled my 6 Full attendee tickets 20 days before the event.
Says, "This is in breach of our terms and conditions and has resulted in your tickets **** - 1,**** - 2,**** - 3, **** - 1, ****- 2 & **** - 3 being voided and no longer valid for Collision 2018."
I wish I could report them as many platforms, and show their real faces.
Paddy’s conferences are awesome. I’ve been to Web Summit in 2015 and now to Collision in 2018. Loved the fact that they are coming to Toronto now.
Excellent networking, conferences and attendees. NOLA is a great city and the event's organizaition is really great, the staff is very helpful and kind. I'll be back!!!
My favorite Tech event next to Dent. Very well done and amazing speakers. Super event for collaboration and inspiration.
If you are related with new technologies and how startups influence our lives this is the correct summit
Love Collision! Can't wait to MC @ SaaS Monster. Here's a podcast with an amazing SaaS Monster speaker I intro'd @ Web Summit. She'll be at Collision! Google 'appselekt 14 minutes' to listen+subscribe
I can't speak for the content, because I was way too busy networking to attend any of the seminars! I probably missed out, but with the Collision Conference App on my phone, I was able to reach out to and connect with many great people and tons of potential partners. It was a great conference for @Zylun to attend, and I'm sure we'll be back!
We are very happy we've attended Collision as an Alpha Start-Up. The exposure you get is truly remarkable and the networking you are able to do these 3 days is unmatched. My only regret is that the conference only lasted for 3 days lol
Nothing could have prepared me for Collision Conference. This has been incredible meeting and getting to know some great new friends, as well as found a huge fan base for Envies Flavor Shot. This community made me feel like a rock star during Night Summit.
The speakers are only topped by the networking. The attendees are top notch and the after hours events around New Orleans are the perfect place to get to know other industry leaders.
If you only attend one conference all year, attend this one!
I'm taking my entire group to the next event! We're all entrepreneurs! From the woman selling hotdogs in the corner of a court house to the Fortune 500 CEO running a company. We have it, so let's unleash it! Thank you guys!!!!
We (@boogli) had a lovely time at the event and enjoyed New Orleans. I was able to network with many types of folks and learned a lot. Attending again this year 2017!
I have never been there yet but it seens to be an excelent event. Thanks for all the information you have been sending to me !
Many interesting people and tasks. Could do with some more vegetarian options.
Amazing conference. I plan on attending in 2018 and have extra tickets for sale. Send me a direct message and friend request.
Fantastic time had by all - a great way to raise investor, competitor and potential partner awareness. Back to the UK now for some well earned sleep! Well done and thanks to CollisionHQ !! See you next year.
