Book tickets for 2026

Attendees at Saas Monster stage during day two of Collision 2023 at Enercare Centre in Toronto, Canada

We'll announce our 2026 schedule soon.

Every Web Summit, we like hosting a history-breaking hangout for young founders in our community and the Vancouver area. The vibes are first class, and this year will be no different. Thanks to the help of Osler, RBC and Adidas, this year's event we're getting out of the conference room and onto the seawall. This event is for the LOI community and any other interested young founders that want to get more connected (w/o the need for lame business cards and pricey cocktails)

​Sign up ASAP (https://lu.ma/uks9maep) so we can keep track of #'s. 

​Also, there may be prizes.... so don't flake, fam. (you know who you are)

​Let us know on IG @loiaccelerator @vancouverrunners that you'll be coming, ready to rumbleeeee

Please register to see the exact location of this event.
