Shopify Tech Talks
Making the Impossible Possible: How Shopify goes beyond step change to redefine commerce intelligence
Step inside Shopify for a day made for engineers, by engineers!
Join us for an afternoon of technical sessions on the new problems we're tackling from Toronto that impact merchants worldwide — the kind of work that only happens when you're building at the frontier of commerce and AI.
On the agenda:
Universal Commerce Protocol and Agentic Commerce — Designing the open protocol powering this new world
SimGym — Simulating human behavior with Shopify's AI Shoppers
Dev Tooling for the Agentic Age — Rebuilding Shopify's infrastructure around a monorepo
We're not done.
Close out the afternoon with Shopify Head of Engineering Farhan Thawar in conversation with Christian Weedbrook, Founder & CEO of Xanadu — on building things that don't exist yet, the intersection of quantum computing and AI, and what's next.
Cap it off with a reception from 5 to 6:30pm — drinks, lite bites, and good conversation with the most vibrant devs in the Toronto tech community.
Please note: Registration is subject to review — approved attendees will receive a confirmation and ticket via email. Last year's event had a wait list of over 500, so if your plans change, please release your ticket via lu.ma so that we may accommodate additional guests from the community.
Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech. Torontotechweek.com
