The event aims to connect the city’s tech ecosystem across diverse sectors, including AI, cybersecurity, DevOps, and web development. Community groups like TorontoJS, AIGeeks, DevOps Toronto, Cyber Tech & Risk, and VoiceTechTO will be in attendance.

Jeremy Shaki, co-founder and CEO of coding bootcamp Lighthouse Labs, will be the keynote speaker at the meetup. Lighthouse Labs has hubs in Toronto and Vancouver dedicated to creating a space for developers to collaborate and connect (disclosure: BetaKit operates within Lighthouse Labs’ Toronto co-working space).
