​Join us in person for the 2026 Canadian Tech @ Scale Conference, bringing together top engineering and data leaders from across Canadian tech for a day of speaker panels, breakout sessions, networking, and more, in the heart of downtown Toronto.

​This year marks the 10th anniversary of Canadian Tech @ Scale 🍁, and we’re looking forward to celebrating this milestone with our community. To kick off the conference, we invite you to join us for a Cocktail Reception the evening before at Index Exchange. 👉 You can find all the details and register for the reception here.

​At the conference, we’ll dive into AI, emerging technology trends, and the ideas shaping the future of Canadian tech. We’ll continue to update this page with the latest speakers, sessions, and schedule as the event approaches.

​Special thanks to Shopify, our 2026 partner. In support of the Canadian tech community, Shopify has once again generously provided its event space and funding to help cover conference expenses.
