The Socratica Symposium (W25)
The World's Best Demo Day
Ever had that thing you've been dying to build? That breakthrough waiting to happen? That idea that keeps you up at night? At Socratica's largest-ever Symposium, you'll witness 100+ makers, artists, researchers, founders, and dreamers who took that leap—and now they're ready to show you what's possible.
We're transforming Waterloo into a living, breathing showcase of human potential. Picture this: dazzling demos on the hockey rink's center stage, interactive exhibitions circling the arena, and conversations that spark the next big thing.

What is Socratica?
⁂ Socratica is an open collective of makers, artists, founders, researchers, designers, and everything in-between. A safe space for our shared love of making things.
You deserve to be here. We know it can be intimidating to start (we’ve been there). Great creative work is historically done together, across backgrounds and disciplines, in small, high trust groups. We’re at our best together, and you are invited. Ɛ>
