Leaders & Lattes: [early] Canada Day Celebration
We're celebrating Canada Day a little early this year: Join us for our 2026 Canada Day edition of Leaders & Lattes at Queen St Commons in Downtown Kitchener. Come for a Canada themed morning of coffee and treats, connection, and community alongside top Canadian leaders and peers who are building our buzzing tech ecosystem.
We know building strong countries and communities goes beyond the tech ecosystem, so we'll also be giving in support of The Working Centre.
Queen St Commons Cafe is part of The Working Centre. For the last 42 years, they've led and managed integrated projects in Kitchener-Waterloo that enable, empower and support those without work and/or housing. Their integrated projects include: Supportive housing, shelters, employment counselling, income tax clinics, community dental teams and medical clinics, computer recycling, Worth A Second Look, adult & youth job development, daily drop-in supports and meals, and more.
If you'd like to make a donation, you can do so on their website or at the event.
We hope to see you there. We can't wait to hear what you've been up to, all the crazy cool ways you've implemented AI - and also - the beautiful ways you and your teams prioritize human connection, what you're excited about, your summer plans and more.
