We have much to celebrate. Montreal will be all abuzz early April as Spring will be in the air and leaders from the technology, business and not-for-profit sectors will unite to launch the third edition of PrideHacks (you can learn more about the success of our past PrideHacks events here and here).

PrideHacks is the official event of Montreal Pride that unites technology professionals with local non-profits. Here we upgrade the tech capacities of groups providing essential services to members of our LGBTQ+ community pro-bono. It’s a yearly tradition: using our tech skills to help those in need. Before we get to work, we invite you to our official spring cocktail launch evening to start our preparations for the summer event. With much excitement, we will also distribute our impact report outlining our success from last year’s event at the gala.

All you need to know

When: April 4, 18:00–21:00

Where: Queen Elizabeth Fairmont Hotel, Agora room

Registration is a must and you can get your ticket here. Note that each ticket includes two drinks.

Get ready for a memorable evening

Organized by QueerTech headquartered in Montreal, PrideHacks continues to grow and this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. To meet expectations, this launch party is at the pantalon-fancy Fairmont. In addition to drag performances and a dance floor with DJ, you will get to network with leaders from Montreal’s business, technology and philanthropy sectors, as well as meet former participants of PrideHacks that made our past events fabulous.

Perhaps you or your friends do not identify as LGBTQ+. No problem, we will welcome you as our allies and guarantee that you are always welcome and wanted at PrideHacks, Montreal Pride or any QueerTech event.

So get ready for an evening of fun with great people — and be sure to bring a friend.

We look forward to greeting you at the Fairmont.

An ambitious team working to upgrade the tech capacities of a non-profit at last year’s PrideHacks.
