Calgary Launch Party 2026 Presented by Float

Calgary Launch Party is the city’s largest annual celebration of local tech, startups, and innovation. Born from the founder community in 2010, it has grown into an iconic tradition where founders, investors, builders, and the tech-curious come together to experience the real energy of Calgary’s startup ecosystem. As the grand finale of Calgary Innovation Week, Launch Party puts the spotlight on the year’s Top 10 emerging startups—a front-row look at the most exciting companies being built right in our backyard. Whether you’re looking to find your next career move, meet early-stage founders, invest in local talent, or simply see what Calgary’s tech scene is all about, Launch Party is where you plug in. Come for the house-party energy and high-impact networking; stay for the unexpected connections and a chance to back the people choosing to build here.
