Join us for Career Connections in partnership with Tech Talent Tuesdays,
Hosted by Platform Calgary
Looking to grow your network, explore new opportunities, or connect with some of Alberta's most innovative employers?
Join Tech Talent Tuesdays and QueerTech for Career Connections, a community-driven event designed to bring together tech professionals, job seekers, employers, and industry leaders for an evening of conversation, connection, and opportunity.
The evening begins with a series of short talks and presentations from participating organizations, highlighting company culture, innovation, workforce trends, and opportunities within Alberta's growing tech ecosystem. Following the presentations, attendees will participate in Career Connections, a facilitated networking experience that combines the energy of speed networking with the authenticity of meaningful career conversations.
Throughout the session, you'll have the opportunity to:
Unlike a traditional career fair, Career Connections focuses on dialogue over resume drops, creating space for more intentional and human-centered interactions. Attendees will also have the option to join a shared resume pool distributed to participating employers following the event.
Whether you're actively seeking your next role, considering a career transition, looking to hire diverse talent, or simply wanting to meet others in Alberta's tech ecosystem, this event is designed to help you make meaningful connections.

Our Inside Out youth group is for 2SLGBTQ+ youth ages 13-18 along with their friends, families, and supporters. We aim to create fun, affirming, and friendly spaces for queer and trans youth! This is a drop-in group, so no registration is required.
The group meets on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at from 6-8pm! Meetings on 4th Tuesdays are a chill hangout space with various activities.
This meetup is intended as a fun and welcoming space for friendly connection and to meet fellow 2SLGBTQ+ and allied youth! If you are looking for further support, Outlink staff are available to meet with you one-on-one or in small groups by phone, text based messaging, or video call upon request. They can also help connect you to other counselling and support services.
The group is run by volunteer group facilitators who have received 30+ hours of peer support training.
We ask all participants to follow our Safer Spaces Ground Rules when attending group or accessing any of our services. If you aren't following them, we might talk to you about it and/or ask you to leave depending on what's happening.
If you'd like to take any pictures of the room or the group, please ask facilitators and participants first.
