AccelerateOTT 2015

Online registration is now closed.

You can still register on-site.

AccelerateOTT is back for its third year in a row - and with a bang! We're changing up the venue and format to better serve the interests of the Ottawa startup community.

Located at the beautifully restored Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park, this year's event will provide attendees with worldclass speakers, great networking opportunities, and private, invitation-only morning workshops.

We're also thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an after-party, generously sponsored by LaBarge Weinstein LLP, at a location to be disclosed upon registration. Psst... the food and staff are beyond amazing, and the crowd will be incomparable! We better see you there.
