​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.
