What we’re about
We are moving to Lu.ma as our event management platform, please subscribe to the calendar here: lu.ma/datadrinks.ca
Welcome to Data Drinks, where data scientists, machine learning professionals, data analytics specialists, and AI knowledge workers can gather to share their knowledge and passion for the field. We are also open to those "data and AI curious" as well.
Our gatherings will be focused on fostering meaningful discussions and promoting genuine connections. We uphold a strict non-promotional and non-commercial policy to create an environment dedicated to open thought, networking, socializing, and learning grounded in authenticity. We warmly welcome individuals from all walks of life, embracing diversity and recognizing the value each member brings to the table.
Our core principles are as follows:
- 🤝 Human First: We prioritize genuine relationships over transactions. While business and partnerships may emerge naturally, our focus is on respectful, people-centered interactions—not sales pitches.
- 🙂 Embracing Respect and Positivity: We foster a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts, learning from each other, and meeting new people.
- 🌱 Building an Authentic and Supportive Community: We seek to cultivate a membership who engage sincerely, share experiences and insights openly, and contribute positively to collective learning and growth.

See all- Data & Drafts: API + AI Mixer 🍻Left Field Brewery (Liberty Village), Toronto, ON
Note: RSVPs are closed for this event on Meetup. To attend please RSVP at prktk.ai/mixer
Two of Toronto’s most active and welcoming tech meetups—Data Drinks and APIs and IPAs - are joining forces for a one-night-only summer social at Left Field Brewery. Expect an easygoing evening full of familiar faces, new connections, cold beer, and sharp minds from across the AI and developer scenes.
​
This isn’t your average meetup. We’re bringing both communities together under one roof for networking extravaganza and two rapid-fire lightning talks right in the heart of the brewery. The speakers? Still under wraps—but trust us, they’ll be worth the suspense. Think practical, provocative, and maybe a little funny.If you're deep into SQL, building APIs, fine-tuning your own LLMs, or just love learning from people who do, this is the kind of event that brings the Toronto Tech community together. There’s no agenda beyond great conversations and a shared love of good ideas (and good beer). Come hang out, bring a friend, and enjoy summer with authentic connections, insights, and inspiration on tap.
