Electric Runway is back on the runway with a ready-to-wear fashion tech show! As many of you already know, We Are Wearables Toronto is the largest wearable technology meetup in the world, with more than 6,000 members in its online community and hundreds turning out monthly to explore the future of technology on the body.

For their August event, WWTO is focusing on the future of fashion and has teamed up with Best Buy for an event unlike any other. Discover demos and innovations exploring the intersection of fashion and tech, featuring presentations, panels and an expo featuring Fossil, Myant, Sensoria, Klothed, Modiface, and more.
