CIX Moves to Fall 2009

CIXToronto – A message from the staff at CIX: Please note that CIX is now scheduled for Fall 2009. Unfortunately, the venue that we booked has gone out of business; at this late stage we have been unable to find an alternative venue for the same week in March, and wish to avoid clashing with other industry events throughout spring.

CIX remains firmly committed to organizing a world class gathering in Toronto focused on Canadian technology innovation. We look forward to announcing our new dates shortly.

Innovation Never Stops
In the interim, we are continuing to accept submissions.

Village Gamer will announce the new CIX dates as soon as they become available.
