About Event

A night for the people building things in this city (and across the country) to finally be in the same room!

Come for the market, the films, and the people. Stay for the conversations, the inspiration, and the connections you didn’t know you needed. You never know who you’ll meet or what it might inspire you to build next.

Act 1: The Gathering 🎤 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Explore a vibrant market bringing together local businesses, creatives, and builders, with music, unique finds, and new ideas around every corner. Meet the people behind the projects, discover local brands, and connect with a community of people building something of their own!

Act 2: The Film Festival 🎬 6:15 PM - 9:00 PM
10 short films sharing the stories behind Calgary’s creatives and builders. Why they started, what they’re passionate about, and the journey of turning an idea into something of their own. A chance to hear their stories, get inspired, and see what happens when people decide to go for it.

Act 3: The Dinner 🍽️ 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
A dinner between a curated list of founders, investors, and other entrepreneurs
