- Students
- Investors
- The tech-curious
THE USUAL TECH EVENT
A conference in disguise
- Lanyards
- Sponsor booths
- A keynote you didn’t ask for
- Name-badge small talk
TECH WEDNESDAYS
A room full of builders
- One night a week, every week
- People who build things
- Conversations, no agenda
- Come once. Most come back.
// 02 — how it works
The whole system.
Three steps. No tutorial. Alone is fine.
- STEP 01 / 03
Show up
Any Wednesday. Alone is fine. Most people came alone the first time.
- STEP 02 / 03
Say hi
Ask anyone what they’re building. That one question does all the work.
- STEP 03 / 03
Come back
Consistency is the whole trick. Weekly beats quarterly, every time.
Repeat every Wednesday. That’s the whole system.
// 07 — fair questions
Before you ask.
Pick a question. We’ll show you.
Q01 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
No. Nobody checks a list. RSVP on Luma or Eventbrite if you want the reminder. It also helps us guess headcount.
Q02 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Yes. Marketers, recruiters, students, the tech-curious. If you care about what’s being built in Calgary, you’re the right crowd.
Q03 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
No agenda, no keynote, no stage. It’s conversations. On special-guest weeks the guest mingles with everyone instead of presenting.
Q04 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Perfect, that’s the point. Walk up to any table, say you’re new, and someone will pull you into a conversation.
Q05 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Calgary, the room is announced with the first night. Every Wednesday from 5:30 PM. The event page always has the latest if anything changes.
Q06 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Cover is $0, and nothing is required.
Q07 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Please do. A friend, a coworker or your whole team. Most people find it easier to walk in with someone.
Q08 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Talk about what you’re building, sure. Just skip the deck. Tech Wednesdays is about conversations, not pitches.
Q09 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Say hi. We handle the room, the date and the promo. You show up, mingle, and the night takes your theme.
