// 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.

The Startup Map.
The Wednesday room is the front door to the Edmonton Startup Map: a free, public, community-owned directory of the region’s tech scene. Everything on it comes from public sources, every fact links to where it came from, and a home address is never pinned.

// 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.
// 08 — the team
The people behind the pints.
Two humans, one open seat. Come say hi on Wednesday.
