Hey! We’ll be adding more to this checklist in the coming months, including useful information like a packing list and how to get a Canadian SIM card.

Welcome! Here’s what to expect. 7in7 isn’t just a conference, it’s a whole week of activities punctuated by official events and attendee-led meetups.

Think of it more like a visit to Disneyland. You may have come for the parade and nighttime fireworks, but in the meantime you’re going to enjoy the rides, meet colorful characters, and eat way too many churros. You can do it all solo, but it’s more fun with friends.

The action begins on Weds Sept 7 with the welcome party, and ends Tues Sept 13 with our volunteer opportunity.

There’s a high-level infographic on the homepage if you’d like an idea of what to expect!

The crux of the 7in7 experience are the attendee-led meetups. They tend to start about a month before the conference when attendees begin to arrive, and usually continue for a couple weeks after the conference ends.

There are meetups for anything and everything. Burgers. Movies. Game nights. Cat cafes. Hikes. Tech startups. Drinking wine.

There’s a mobile-optimized web app for hosting and joining meetups, so you can browse on your phone, create on your laptop, and join on your tablet.

Your 7in7 Conference ticket includes free entry to all workshops. Space is limited and workshops can fill up. Read up on this year’s workshops before you choose.

What’s Adventure Day? Instead of two days at the conference venue, this year we’re limiting the main stage event to Saturday, and using Sunday to have adventures around Montréal.

Our Year Five venue is Montréal Cowork in Plateau Mont-Royal. Get to know it before you step inside! It’s the perfect place to cowork before and after the conference.

IT IS STILL KINDA SUMMER. Be prepared for warm weather, but also have a light jacket ready for the evenings!
