And because Edmonton Startup Week happens to line up with CFR this year, we’re having a little fun with it. After a day that includes AgTech and the future of agriculture, we’re carrying that farm-inspired feel into the evening—with great food and one big community gathering.

Think house party vibes, a DJ, live band, live cooking stations, all things barbecue and activations throughout.

And we’re not stopping at our front door. The party will spill out into the green space next door, bringing the experience inside and out with plenty of room to explore, catch up, make new connections and have the conversations that don’t always happen at a typical networking event.

Your ticket gets you into the party, along with food, drink tickets, swag and a few surprises we’re keeping under wraps for now.

Not sure what to wear? There’s no dress code, but if you want to lean into the night, think trucker hats, denim, overalls and a little farm-inspired flair. Keep it casual. Keep it grassroots. Make it your own.

Most importantly, Launch Party is a chance to bring this community together. To celebrate what’s been built. To meet the people building what comes next. To reconnect with familiar faces and welcome some new ones into the fold.
