Welcome to the Midweek Memo: a weekly digest of the city’s top tech events, job openings, and industry opportunities.

Before we get into this, check out the results from our weekly poll!

On Sunday, we asked how many of you wound up working over the holiday break. Only 40 percent of you shut off completely over the holidays.

Now, on to the events you can’t miss this coming week…

  • Friendly Fridays is a monthly gathering co-hosted by Technology Alberta and the Edmonton Research Park. It's your chance to connect with fellow members of the Alberta Technology Community in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

  • Whether you're an entrepreneur, champion, or simply curious about the Alberta ecosystem, Friendly Fridays is the perfect opportunity to network, share ideas, and collaborate on exciting projects. Each session features casual discussions, networking opportunities, and insights from community members.

  • Plug and Play Alberta’s monthly mixer is a great opportunity to meet local community members (startups, investors, mentors, and Plug and Play team members) and enjoy lunch with good food and great conversations.

  • Space is limited, so be sure to secure your spot by registering now.
