Tech & Startup Social Mixer ($15 Early Bird Tix!)

**On August 19, TechinTO is taking over IDK Social Bar** for our summer finale — and honestly, our biggest comeback yet. It's been a minute. Longer than usual, actually. We've been quiet all summer, heads-down figuring out how to make this the strongest room we've put together yet. Now we're back, the format is looser than ever, and the timing is perfect: one last blowout before everyone disappears into fall-grind mode. **Welcome Back, Toronto:** After the longest break we've taken yet, we're back in the room we love most. No stage, no slides, no pitch deck — just the return of TechinTO's original, unstiff energy. Grab a drink, mix and mingle, and actually connect. **The Summer Finale:** Consider this the closing party of the season. One last mixer before summer wraps for good — bring whatever energy you've got left and spend all of it here. **Come Ready to Show, Not Just Tell:** This one's for the builders. Whatever you've shipped, learned, pivoted on, or figured out over the break — this is the room to talk about it. Swap insight, show off what you're actually working on, and walk away having learned something from the person next to you. **The Crowd:** Entrepreneurs, devs, designers, and marketers who are actually moving the needle in this city. Bring your team — groups of three or more lock in a 25% discount at checkout. **📅 The Details** * When: Wednesday, August 19, 2026 * Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Where: IDK Social Bar (172 Ossington Ave) **🎟️ Secure Your Spot** Capacity is limited and the summer finale moves fast.

Hand Free: Snap → Polish → Post /Turn One Quick Photo Into Gallery-Ready Content

If you sell or post anything, you know the friction: it looks great in person, but the photo falls flat — so you don't post, or you post something mediocre. Restaurants, people clearing inventory, car sales, creators — same problem, same lost momentum. In this session we'll show you what's genuinely possible now, where it fits you as a solo worker, and what it would take to put it to work in yours. We'll be using Claude Code & Cowork, and it'll be demo-led — I'll show you how I do it. If you want to follow along, please install Claude Code beforehand. You'll see how these tools figure things out for you and go beyond chatbots and conversation-based interaction. Essentially, you'll be building your own autonomous agent. Wanna know more?

Beyond Chatbots: The AI Agent That Follows Up on Every Lead (Virtual)

Every business has the same quiet leak: leads come in, and the busy ones slip through before you get back to them — and they call someone else. In this session I'll show the whole journey live, on a real phone: a missed call triggers an instant text-back with a booking link, the lead books straight into the calendar, and the agent asks a few qualifying questions so you walk into the call prepared. We'll show you what's genuinely possible now, where it fits a real business, and what it would take to put it to work in yours. We'll be using different tools including CRM, Excel, Claude Code & Cowork for demo purpose. You'll see how these tools figure things out for you and go beyond chatbots and conversation-based interaction. Essentially, you'll be building your own autonomous agent. Wanna know more?
