\*\*This is a paid event, please register via our Luma Page. You need to have a ticket in order to attend this event: https://luma.com/together-toronto-mar-2-2026 **​Together Toronto brings the city’s tech community together for an evening of connection, inspiration, and learning** ​Together Toronto is where the city’s most passionate tech builders, thinkers, and doers come together to learn from the journeys that rarely get shared. At this signature event, we spotlight real stories from founders who’ve navigated the ups, downs, and in-betweens of building in Toronto’s fast-moving tech scene. These aren’t polished pitches or surface-level panels, they’re honest, behind-the-scenes conversations that reveal what it actually takes to launch, scale, and grow a company. ​You’ll hear from entrepreneurs who’ve taken bold bets, faced unexpected challenges, and found creative ways to move forward. Their stories offer more than inspiration - they deliver lessons, frameworks, and insights that can change how you approach your own work. Whether you're starting your first venture, scaling a team, or simply curious about how Canadian leading companies are built, this event is for you. This event is about more than just listening, it’s about connecting. You’ll be in a room full of founders, investors, operators, and future collaborators who believe in the power of community. It’s a chance to meet the people building what's next, share ideas, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

This is a casual drop-in style event. Anyone is welcome to attend. Grab food and/or drinks, and engage in such wild activities as; interesting conversation, taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi, drinking, not drinking... Social starts and ends with you so please leave a comment letting other's know when you plan to arrive. Thanks.

Do you like s’mores? Maybe you’ve never had a s’mores. Either way this is the place to be for dollar s’mores. But you’ve got to roast the marshmallows over an open fire yourself which is the best part. Not mention you’ll be meeting other people in a social environment. $1 (cash only please) gets you two crackers, a piece of milk chocolate and a marshmallow on a skewer. For those of you who have never made your own or aren’t that skilled I will teach you how. And yes you can have more than one!

PLEASE CONTACT Jason at 905-308-4100 FOR DETAILS.
