Tech & Startup Social Mixer ($20 Early Bird Tix!)
On **March 25**, TechinTO is taking over IDK Social Bar for an absolute homecoming edition.
**This month is different.** For the first time in over two years, the founder is back in Toronto to host the room in person. We are restoring the original, unstiff energy, keeping the format loose, and dropping an absolute upgrade to the guest list.
**✨ The Vibe Check**
**Hosted by the Founder:** **The founder is actually flying back for one specific reason: to control the room dynamics and ensure this is the absolute strongest tech mixer of the year**. Grab a drink, mix and mingle, and actually connect.
**THE SURPRISE:** The zero-pressure format remains absolute, but the stakes are elevated. **A casting producer for one of Canada's biggest business television shows is attending**. You should leave the slide deck at home and just be ready to talk about the company you are actually building.
**The Crowd:** Entrepreneurs, devs, designers, and marketers who are actually moving the needle in this city. **You should absolutely bring your team—groups of three or more immediately lock in a specific 25% discount at checkout.**

The Test Tribe 12th Toronto Meetup – AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders
Most AI discussions in testing revolve around generating test cases or accelerating automation.
But for Quality Engineering leaders, the real opportunity is much bigger.
AI is not just a tool for execution - it’s a force multiplier for decision-making. It can synthesize fragmented data, reveal hidden patterns, connect siloed systems, and elevate quality from reporting metrics to driving strategy.
At the 12th Toronto Meetup, we shift the conversation from tactical AI usage to strategic quality intelligence - and what that means for modern QE leadership.
**Event Details**
* Date: March 25th, 2026
* Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM EST
* Venue: 688 Richmond St. W. (3rd floor)
Session: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders
Speaker: Puneet Randhawa, Director of Quality Engineering, StackAdapt
About the Session
While AI can generate tests and automation scripts, its greatest value for QE leaders lies in connecting the dots.
In this session, Puneet shares practical, real-world ways QE leaders can use AI to:
* Connect data from Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, monitoring tools, and more through MCP servers
* Build custom GPTs for defect trend analysis and regression intelligence
* Transform raw dashboards into actionable, forward-looking insights
This talk focuses on operating at a higher strategic altitude - shifting from tracking metrics to building systems that generate clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making.
If you’re leading QE in a fast-moving organization, this session will help you rethink how AI can amplify your impact.
**Key Takeaways**
* How QE leaders can use AI to connect siloed quality data into meaningful insights
* Practical examples of MCP servers and custom GPTs in QE workflows
* How to transition from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven leadership
* Ways to elevate quality from operational support to strategic advantage
**About the Speaker**
Puneet Randhawa is the Director of Quality Engineering at StackAdapt, with over 15 years of experience building and scaling QE teams in high-growth tech environments.
She is passionate about transforming quality from a support function into a strategic differentiator - leveraging data, automation, and now AI to enable smarter decisions and stronger outcomes.
Puneet actively mentors emerging QE leaders and shares practical insights from the field, focusing on how modern quality engineering can influence business strategy and organizational impact.
**Why You Should Attend**
* Gain a leadership-level perspective on AI in quality engineering
* Learn how to leverage AI beyond automation use cases
* Discover practical methods to turn metrics into intelligence
* Connect with Toronto’s QE and technology leaders
* Be part of The Test Tribe’s 12th Toronto Meetup
**About The Test Tribe**

# FAQs
**Do all ideas have a chance at getting funded?**
Not all ideas will move forward after initial pitches on Saturday. Once pitches are complete, we’ll vote for top ideas and form teams around the 4 – 7 ideas with the most votes. You must recruit **at least four total team members** (including the founder) to move forward and have a chance at getting funded on Sunday. If your idea doesn’t move forward, you can join another team!
**Do I have to submit my idea online prior to the event?**
Unlike previous years, we don’t have the option to submit your idea online prior to the event. Instead, everyone will be going through a brainstorming exercise on Saturday that’ll help you prepare for your initial pitch.
**Will we be working for 24 hours straight?**
Nope. The event is split over two days. You’ll be building on Saturday and pitching on Sunday.
**Do I have to pitch an idea?**
Nope. You can also simply join a team.
**What types of entrepreneurs does GBH support?**
While GBH most often works with technology startups, we support *any* organization (for- or non-profit) that makes an impact on health in the US or across the world.
