The Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance in partnership with York Technology Association will present the GTA launch of the Branham 300 at a luncheon event at Le Parc Conference & Banquet Centre.  Now in its 15th year, the Branham 300 is considered the authoritative listing of the Top 300 Canadian software and IT Services firms and represents a truly unique piece of intelligence on the Canadian Information Technology market.

The guest speaker is Wayne Gudbranson, President & CEO, Branham Group. He is a sought after speaker, having promoted Canada’s IT industry capabilities in more than 25 countries in the world, from Norway to Costa Rica, from Japan to Germany, and from the United States to Mexico.

We are targeting 150 guests primarily from the IT community and will be engaging York Technology Association and other stakeholder sector organizations to promote the event to their members. We will also have a broad section of attendees from business, government and academia.

Sponsorship of the GTA Launch of the BRANHAM 300 is an exceptional opportunity to profile your organization in front of leading IT companies, business and community leaders from across the Greater Toronto Area.
