Community Connect

Community Connect is a monthly networking lunch hosted by Platform Calgary — designed to bring together the people building Calgary’s tech ecosystem. Originally created for Platform member companies to learn from one another, it has grown into a space where founders, program alumni, coaches, and partners come together to share insights, celebrate wins, and support each other’s growth. Whether you're part of the Calgary tech sector or just getting curious, we invite a limited number of non-members to join us, meet the community, and experience the momentum for yourself.
