The 4 City Tour event

Based on the success of the annual FlashintheCan Festival and partnered with Macromedia, we've decided to take it on the road for a 4 City Tour across Canada. The inspiration to launch this new and exciting event came from musicians going on tour. So, why not invite a bunch of mega talented individuals and visit four different cities for a full day of inspiration?

The Package

* 4 cities in 8 days

* 1 full day of inspirational and educational new media content

* 24 presentations. Each City is one day, one track, with six presentations.

* Mixer in each City
