Tech Sync Presented By Next Wave & WATT Wire
Tech Sync is a curated evening bringing together Montreal’s next generation of founders, builders, operators, developers, and technical talent for a high energy night focused on the future of technology and startups.
Presented by Next Wave and WATT Wire, the event is designed to create a space where meaningful conversations happen naturally between people actively building, investing in, or shaping the tech ecosystem. The goal is to move beyond traditional networking events and create an environment where real ideas, collaborations, and opportunities can emerge.

Attendance is intentionally capped at 140 people to preserve the quality of the room, and we have reached capacity. This is not an open event. It is a curated environment built for people actively involved in building, scaling, or investing in technology. Registration is now closed and a waitlist is active.
If you registered but can no longer attend, please make sure to unregister so your spot can be freed up for someone on the waitlist.
Tech Sync includes founders, startup operators, engineers, developers, students entering tech, and investors who are actively engaged in the ecosystem and serious about building meaningful connections.
If you are building, hiring, investing, or looking to plug into Montreal’s tech ecosystem, join the waitlist. Spots do open up as we get closer to the event.
