No. Our monthly meetups are completely free to attend, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and partners like Invest Mississauga and IDEA Mississauga. Drinks, snacks, and high-value programming are always included.

We love supporting builders! If you have a working prototype, a shipped product, or an interesting tech project you want to show off, simply reach out to us on our WhatsApp community or fill out the demo form on our events page. Demos are limited to 5-10 minutes of live software, with zero pitch decks allowed.

Our permanent home is IDEA Mississauga, located at Square One Shopping Centre (300 City Centre Dr, Mississauga, ON). It is highly accessible via public transit (MiWay & GO Transit) and offers plenty of local parking.

Our WhatsApp community is a high-engagement space for mentorship, technical assistance, job postings, and general discussions. You can request access at our monthly meetups, or by registering for any of our upcoming events on Simpli Events.
