A Space to Ask Questions You Don’t Get to Ask Anywhere Else
Brought to You with Support from our Partners
We're pleased to welcome SenSen to this year's Ontario User Forum. As a valued technology partner, they'll be joining us to share updates and insights on the latest developments in AI-powered parking enforcement operations.

"Every gtechna User Forum reminds me how much we can learn from one another. We're happy to share what's working, we talk through challenges, and exchange new ideas — the conversations are always the highlight of the day.
I'm excited to do it all again this year. Thank you to the City of Ajax for hosting, and I look forward to seeing everyone in Ajax."
