Executive Chairman To Present at Whistler Capital Conference
Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2021) - KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (OTCQB: KWEMF) ("KWESST" or "the Company") today announced that it will hold the first ever live demonstration of its Low Energy Cartridge (LEC) system. The demonstration will be held in the Whistler, British Columbia area in the afternoon of July 9th, 2020. In attendance for KWESST will be the Company's Executive Chairman David Luxton and the C.E.O. Jeff MacLeod.
While not open to the general public, investors who wish to attend are invited to send an email to: investors@kwesst.com. Please note that capacity at the demonstration site is very limited. A video of the event is expected to be posted on the Company's website during the week of July 12th.
The LEC system is the world's first cartridge-based non-lethal firing system with universal application across four market segments that currently use a variety of dated "non-lethal" or "less-lethal" solutions. These segments are (i) public order (riots and control of dangerous subjects), (ii) military and law enforcement training (realistic force-on-force training), (iii) personal defence (home, car, boat, RV, camping, hiking), and (iv) high-action gaming.
KWESST also announces that David Luxton will be a presenter at the 11th Annual Whistler Capital Conference organized by Capital Event Management which takes place in Whistler between July 9th and 11th. The conference introduces growth-stage companies to active top-level capital finance individuals through a day of scheduled one-on-one meetings and networking activities.
