ABOUT DIGIFEST
Digifest is a 3 day design & tech festival, as well as a startup event, organized annually by the Digital Media and Gaming Incubator at George Brown College. Thought leaders, entrepreneurs, students and creatives from all industries come together for three days to share compelling digital content and discuss the future of design & technology.
This year’s theme, Creative Growth, explores how we can use unique connections at the intersections of design and technology to grow as educators, entrepreneurs and designers.
Leaders from across the globe have shared the Digifest stage, including visualization designer Giorgia Lupi (USA/Italy), fashion tech designer Anouk Wipprecht (Netherlands), Rijksmuseum marketing director Linda Volkers (Netherlands), Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi (Italy) and filmmaker Keichi Matsuda (UK/Japan).
