Community Gathering in Old Montreal (A Post-Startupfest Potluck Edition)

​Following the success of intimate, high-vibe gatherings hosted during F1 Weekend and Art Basel-inspired events, we’re bringing that same energy to Startupfest — this time, potluck style at the benches on Place D’Youville.

​This event designed for meaningful connection. No velvet ropes, no badges — just an open space where founders, creatives, investors, and curious thinkers can gather, share, and build relationships in an authentic and relaxed setting after an eventful week during Startupfest.

​Expect easy snacks, refreshing drinks, and soulful conversations — the kind that often spark partnerships, ideas, or even lifelong friendships. This is about slowing down, showing up as you are, and remembering that some of the best ideas come when we’re just being human together.

​✨ Open to everyone — come as you are

​📍 Location: Benches at the intersection of D’Youville & Mcgill Street in Old Montreal

​🕕 Time: 2:30 PM–6:30 PM

​🍷 Refreshments: Wine, bubbly, beer, water, cheese boards, and snacks

​🧺 Potluck-style: bring something to share (food or beverages)!

​🌿 BYOV — Bring Your Own Vibes

​📣 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS Les Soeurs Grises, Beavertails and La Popessa for your food and drink contributions

​Whether you’re in town for the talks, the deals, or just the inspiration — join us for this soulful pause during a high-energy week.
