November 15 2023 Newsletter

Welcome to the fourteenth edition of Toronto IRL - where we find the best IRL business + tech events in Toronto, and curate them, so you don’t have to go searching.
The ToIRL newsletter solves a big problem by aggregating and curating all the events, so you really only need “one newsletter”. The newsletter will stay the same, minus some minor formatting changes.
