The Vaughan Chamber's Technology survey results  paint a pretty clear picture - our members believe that technology is critical to their business!

We had members from very different sectors take the survey and while respondents' roles and occupations differ, we did see a lot of similarities in their answers. For example, interest in hot topics - such as Blockchain and cyber security - was high across all responders, which is not surprising since we expected our members to be on top of the latest trends. However, what was interesting to see is that many members are either reviewing advanced technology for near-future deployment, or have already started the process of deployment.

October Networking Breakfast at LEGOLAND
Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018

Earlier this month, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Toronto, located in Vaughan Mills, hosted our members for a morning of networking. 

Guests were able to meet other members, make valuable business connections, all while enjoying what LEGOLAND has to offer. From viewing LEGO replicas of downtown Toronto landmarks, to watching a 3D movie, this event sure brought out the kids in us! 

Thank you to our generous host, and to our networking sponsor BDO for bringing business together.
