Q-Edge

Join us in Ottawa on March 30 for Q‑EDGE, CQCC’s inaugural Economic Development & Growth Exchange—created to advance 2SLGBTQI+ economic prosperity and strengthen our business ecosystem.

This high‑energy, in‑person event will bring together 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs, innovators, and ecosystem partners. The day includes open networking and a tradeshow, CQCC remarks, and a Regional Partner Spotlight featuring the Ontario Queer Chamber of Commerce (OQCC), exploring Creative Economies & Queer Innovation.

You’ll also hear from QueerTech in a timely panel on AI, access, and agency, and take part in facilitated Brain Dates designed to spark meaningful peer‑to‑peer exchange.

Whether you’re growing a business, exploring new ideas, or looking to connect with the queer business ecosystem, Q‑EDGE offers:

• Actionable insights you can use right away
• Meaningful connections with peers and partners
• A welcoming space to learn, share, and build community

Be part of the movement advancing inclusive economic growth: come curious and leave connected.
