Recently I co-founded the Toronto Wearables Meetup with fashion & technology expert Angella Mackey. Our mission statement is as follows:
The Toronto Wearables Meetup is a gathering of people interested in wearable technology, fashion, wearable electronics, soft circuits, electronic textiles, emerging materials, and other creative and innovative approaches to things that live on the body. This Meetup intended for artists, fashion designers, industrial designers, textile enthusiasts, engineers, researchers, students, and anyone interested in these emerging and intersecting fields.
We’ve had two meetings so far with a third happening on May 11th. More information including details about upcoming project talks and our mailing list can be found on our new website.
