​CUTC Montréal 2026: TRANSFORM

​250 students. One day. Some of the most influential people in tech.

​On October 3, CUTC is bringing together 250 of Canada's most ambitious students, builders, researchers, designers, and future founders for a day in Montréal.

​Not 5,000 people in a convention centre. Not hours of corporate panels.

​Just a really cracked room of people you probably want to meet.

​🎤 Speakers

• ​Harley Finkelstein, President, Shopify

• ​Tim Bray, Co-author of XML, former VP at Amazon, Co-founder of OpenText

• ​Frank Tompa, Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo + Co-founder of OpenText

• ​Dr. Marily Nika, AI Product Leader & Educator

​and more to be announced.

​What happens at CUTC?

​Talks and conversations with people who've shaped technology.

​Small-group sessions and workshops where you actually participate.

​Students building companies, doing research, shipping side projects, and figuring out what comes next.

​And plenty we're not announcing yet :)

​Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

​You don't need to have founded a startup or worked at a big tech company. We're looking for people who are curious, ambitious, and genuinely excited about building the future of technology.
