TechConnex is a collaborative, member-led community where leaders connect, learn, and grow through peer-driven education, strategic networking, and shared real-world insight.
I’ve been a member of TechConnex coming up to ten years and it’s one of those peer group organizations that never gets old. There’s takeaway value from every meeting whether it’s for the business or inspiration from a member’s story. Thank you TechConnex for being an essential part of my journey.

I think TechConnex is one of the best things we have in our industry in Toronto
I’ve been joining the Peer Groups at TechConnex for around a year now. I really enjoy my time during the webinars. They offer a great opportunity to learn from many experts in the field and grow your network.
The soft launch of my startup can honestly be accredited to TechConnex and the networking opportunities that it provided for me. Through numerous virtual networking sessions, not only did I become more comfortable and confident discussing my venture, but I obtained invaluable advice and insight from professionals with years of experience across various industries.As a first-time entrepreneur, I didn’t have very many connections in the field that I was trying to pursue. This proved to be quite an obstacle for finding early adopters in the beginning stages of my startup. Luckily, after finding TechConnex and through the kindness of fellow members, I was referred to multiple people who have since become clients and valued stakeholders.Through the array of topics and discussions provided in their sessions, TechConnex has created a true sense of community, comprised of professionals from all backgrounds and walks of life. The genuine interest and support of the board as well as its members has resulted in a nurturing environment that not only contributes to members’ success, but celebrates it.
I never leave without having learnt something. Great place to learn and network.
Quality events cover almost every aspect of business. Great learning, sharing and networking experience!!
TechConnex runs peer groups for just about anyone who wants to learn from their peers and business colleagues about their challenges and successes. It is a great place to meet new people and partners, learn from peers who have first hand knowledge, and broaden your network and connections.
As a solopreneur, I need to maximize the ROI of my money and my time with every decision I make. My TechConnex membership does both.
Peer Groups offer educational opportunities across a range of topics – some help me grow my business (like the CEO peer group, sales and marketing), some help me help my clients (People Strategies, D&I) and some I attend purely because the topic is interesting (Product Management, AI). I do not need an incremental professional development budget – TechConnex covers it all.
I learn from the experience of other members, and have the opportunity to share my experience and help others grow by engaging in the peer group discussions. I have built my network through TechConnex and this has lead to sales opportunities. I joined TechConnex in 2019, became a Peer Group facilitator in 2020, and have recently joined the Board of Directors.
Every penny and every minute I have invested with TechConnex has been paid back many times over.
