Digital Journal is partnering with Toast to cover its Toronto Summit on June 20, continuing a shared commitment to spotlighting equity, leadership, and real progress in Canada’s tech sector.
Now in its third year, the Toast Summit is a full-day gathering dedicated to uplifting and empowering women in the tech industry. Designed to celebrate achievements while creating space for deeper conversation, the summit provides a supportive environment where attendees can learn from one another, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.
The event brings together women in technology, allies, and senior leaders who are ready to speak honestly about the challenges and decisions that shape their careers.
Past summits have covered everything from pay equity and the venture capital gap to burnout and bias. The conversations are direct, the reflections are personal, and the community is one that values truth over polish.
Last year’s coverage reflected this ethos and the power of creating space for stories that often go unheard.
Toast was founded to accelerate the careers of women in tech and has since grown into a platform for connection, leadership, and action.
Through events, programs, and mentorship, Toast supports women at every stage of their journey in tech. Its recent expansion into the United States highlights the urgency of its mission, especially at a time when inclusion efforts are under scrutiny or being scaled back.
Digital Journal will be on the ground at the Toronto Summit, covering key moments, elevating voices, and profiling the people shaping conversations around equity and leadership.
Through interviews and editorial features, the coverage will extend the impact of the summit and share its insights with a broader national and international audience.
“Every conversation at Toast is built on trust,” said April Hicke, CEO of Toast. “We bring people together to talk about what’s hard, what’s changing, and what’s possible. Partnering with Digital Journal helps us take those conversations further and make sure they’re seen, heard, and felt well beyond the room.”
Digital Journal CEO, Chris Hogg, says the partnership reflects a shared belief in the importance of documenting change as it happens.
“We are here to listen closely and reflect what this moment feels like,” he said. “To show what it means to lead with integrity, to challenge systems that no longer work, and to share the work of people who are doing that every day.”
Coverage from Toast’s Toronto Summit will be published on Digital Journal beginning June 20.
