Edition

2025

Welcome to Canadian Tech at Scale 2025! We welcome aspiring to experienced engineering or data leaders from Canada and abroad to learn from each other's successes and failures from scaling their companies. Check-out the 2022 videos to watch the AMA and panel discussions here.  

Given the monumental changes in tech that are being driven by AI, this year's conference will focus on product development, scaling engineering through an AI lens, and other tech trends we've seen emerge in the past year and that are highly relevant to engineering and data leaders.

Our goal is for each attendee to leave the conference with relevant knowledge, tangible examples and new relationships that will help them navigate and succeed through this sea of change and opportunity. Speakers will include startup to large tech engineering & AI leaders that are defining the next generation of platforms & products. 

We will be in person at Shopify HQ Toronto (near King & Spadina) on Thursday, October 16th. With so much happening in Canadian tech, you’ll be sure to meet many new (and old) faces from Canadian and global tech leaders. The lu.ma Event Platform is being used for registration, conference updates, and schedule details.

​​Given tickets are complimentary this year, we expect that demand will increase, so we encourage you to register early to secure your spot. We would appreciate only registering if you plan to attend and are an engineering, ML or security leader.
