About This Event
​Looking to build an additional income stream beyond your 9-to-5? Have an idea bouncing around in your head that needs real-world feedback? Or simply looking for a proactive peer group in Calgary to brainstorm, collaborate, and take action?
​The Calgary Side Hustle & Idea Incubator is an informal, action-oriented gathering designed to bring together aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, stay-at-home parents, students, and working professionals across Calgary.
​This is not a high-pressure sales pitch or a theoretical lecture. It is a collaborative mastermind and networking session focused on practical execution, lean business validation, and genuine peer connections.
​Who Should Attend?

  • ​Working Professionals: Looking to build a "Plan B," monetize specialized skills, or transition into consulting, e-commerce, or service-based freelancing.
  • ​Stay-at-Home Parents: Looking for flexible, location-independent projects that fit around family life and generate meaningful revenue.
  • ​Students & Recent Grads: Eager to gain entrepreneurial experience, test low-risk side hustles, and connect with working mentors.
  • ​Idea Creators & Early Builders: Have an MVP, a rough concept, or an active side hustle and want constructive, unbiased feedback from diverse perspectives.

​What to Bring

  • ​An open mind and a willingness to share insights and experience.
  • ​A notebook or tablet to capture takeaways and contact information.
  • ​*(Optional)* A 60-second summary of your current project or idea if you would like feedback during the hot seat segment.
