Built in Calgary
Show Us What You’ve Built.
Ready to put your product in front of Calgary?
Don’t just exhibit.
Demo it live.
Built in Calgary is a three-day, hands-on demo floor at Calgary Innovation Week. Local tech companies test, pitch and sell their products live, to people who are ready to try them.
This isn't a row of booths people walk past. Founders, first-time visitors and the tech-curious come to try products, ask questions and give feedback, so the community helps shape Calgary's next products in real time.
Bring your customers and clients too. Built in Calgary gives you a professional space and event-ready setup to demo under the Calgary Innovation Week banner. It's a ready-made reason to get customers, prospects and partners in the room, without the cost of running your own event
Built Here. Backed Here.
