About this event

The Ontario Hackathon Coalition is continuing to build.

Leading up to our All Ontario Mixer for Toronto Tech Week, we are hosting Regional Mixers across the province.

🚀 What is the Ontario Hackathon Coalition?

​We want Ontario to be known internationally for its hackathons.

​We want young students across this province to aspire to compete in hackathons, not just hockey.

​The path is simple: More. Bigger. Better. We elevate the incredible hackathons that already exist. We encourage new ones to form. We learn from the best organizers in every corner of Ontario.

​This mixer is the first step: organizers, hackers, sponsors, and community builders getting in a room together. The best ecosystems are built on relationships, not just registrations.

​🗓️ The Bigger Picture

Toronto Tech Week 2027 or 2028: a world-class flagship hackathon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Thousands of hackers. Top sponsors: $1M grand prize.

🔧 Building Infrastructure

We are engaging industrial engineers, economists, anthropologists, philosophers and user experience experts to explore fundamental questions about hackathons: Data. Knowledge. Culture.​

​👋 Who should come?

​​Hackathon organizers from across the GTA. ​Sponsors and community builders who believe in the builder ecosystem. Anyone who has toyed with organizing a hackathon. Come learn from the best.

​The Ontario Hackathon Coalition is a grassroots effort incubated by The AI Collective. Our mission is to unite and amplify Ontario's hackathon community. This is the beginning.

Ontario will be Yours to Discover for Hackathon Culture. 🚀

Presented by: NovaForge AI Venture Lab: A non-profit incubator and accelerator in a 50,000-sq-ft Canadian Innovation Hub & Co-working Centre, pairing world-class mentorship, capital access, and deep resources to turn bold ideas into enduring businesses. https://novaforge.ca

​Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted to this event, please keep applying! We appreciate your application tremendously and we are looking forward to seeing you at a future event very soon!
