A pub full of builders
- One pub, one night a week

- Conversations, no agenda
- Come once. Most come back.
// 02 — how it works
The whole system.
Three steps. No tutorial. Alone is fine.
- STEP 01 / 03
Show up
Any Wednesday. Alone is fine. Most people came alone the first time.
- STEP 02 / 03
Say hi
Ask anyone what they’re building. That one question does all the work.
- STEP 03 / 03
Come back
Consistency is the whole trick. Weekly beats quarterly, every time.
Repeat every Wednesday. That’s the whole system.

// 06 — every wednesday
Special guest, special week. The guest of honor.
Some Wednesdays are special weeks: a guest joins, the whole night takes their theme, and there’s no stage. They’re in the middle of the room, mingling with everyone, and it feels like their birthday party.
IF YOU COME
You leave knowing somebody new.
Meet the special guest
Some Wednesdays bring a guest worth meeting. Come say hi, ask your questions, and talk to someone you’d never run into otherwise.
Special weeks, special themes
When a guest joins, the whole night is built around them. A fintech guest means a Fintech Wednesday, with the right crowd in the room.
Leave with new connections
Everyone is there to talk, so it’s easy to walk up, ask what they’re building, and keep the conversation going after.
IF YOU’RE A GUEST
The room Edmonton tech shows up in.
A curated audience
Founders, builders and operators who came to talk, not to be pitched.
Easy to organize
We handle the room, the date and the promo. You just show up and talk.
Edmonton’s largest tech community
4,000+ members, and a standing crowd from the first night.
// 07 — fair questions
Before you ask.
Pick a question. We’ll show you.
Q01 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
No. It’s free and nobody checks a list. RSVP on Luma, Meetup or Eventbrite if you want the reminder. It also helps us guess headcount.
Q02 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Yes. Marketers, recruiters, students, the tech-curious. If you care about what’s being built in Edmonton, you’re the right crowd.
Q03 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
No agenda, no keynote, no stage. It’s conversations. On special-guest weeks the guest mingles with everyone instead of presenting.
Q04 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Perfect, that’s the point. Walk up to any table, say you’re new, and someone will pull you into a conversation.
Q05 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
The Pint – Downtown, Edmonton. Every Wednesday from 5:30 PM. The event page always has the latest if anything changes.
Q06 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Cover is $0, and nothing is required. But The Pint hosts us every Wednesday, so grab a bite and a drink while you’re there. The food and drinks really are good, and it’s how we say thanks for the room.
Q07 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Please do. A friend, a coworker or your whole team. Most people find it easier to walk in with someone.
Q08 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Talk about what you’re building, sure. Just skip the deck. Tech Wednesdays is about conversations, not pitches.
Q09 / 09
TECH WEDNESDAYS SAYS
Say hi. We handle the room, the date and the promo. You show up, mingle, and the night takes your theme.
