On Saturday, June 7, the heart of downtown Toronto will host the SexTech TO Conference, a first-of-its-kind event spotlighting the intersection of technology and sexual wellness.
Held at the Centre for Social Innovation and co-produced by Founder Alexandra Friedman and Creative Director Erin York, this one-day conference will bring together thought leaders, interactive tech demos, and bold conversations designed to inform, inspire, and ignite change.
The keynote will feature disability and sexuality advocate Andrew Gurza; additional points of interest include installations from K!nky Makers and Research & Desire, among other innovators pushing boundaries within the $38-billion global sex tech industry.
“SexTech TO is about making the unknown known,” says founder Alexandra Friedman. “We’re creating a hub for sex-positive innovation here in Toronto — similar to that of New York or Berlin. We want to amplify voices, connect the players, and make resources more visible.”
With the global sex tech market projected to double in value in the next three years, industry professionals and advocates still face censorship, funding challenges, and misinformation. This conference creates a space to address those barriers and elevate the conversation — from the sectors of education to entrepreneurship.
“Sex tech isn’t just about toys — it’s about health, equity, inclusion, and the freedom to access tools that support human sexuality,” says Friedman. “This will be the perfect teaser of what you can expect for the future of sex tech in Toronto.”
