Connecting Entrepreneurs, Service Providers, and Post-Secondary Institutions

 

Get To Know Day is back—and it’s more than just an event. It’s a day dedicated to connection, collaboration, and community-building across the Edmonton innovation ecosystem.

Designed for organizations, businesses, and individuals who are committed to growing meaningful relationships, GTK Day offers a unique opportunity to network, share resources, and uncover new ways to work together. Whether you're part of a post-secondary institution, a support organization, or an innovative company, this day is for you.

Building on the momentum of last year’s gathering—where 65+ members of the ecosystem came together—this year’s event is not your typical lineup of back-to-back PowerPoint presentations. Instead, it’s a thoughtfully designed day of interactive activities that foster real conversations, highlight local innovation, and help us strengthen the connections that make our ecosystem thrive.

 

Get To Know 2025 is ERIN’s signature annual gathering - an interactive, high-energy event designed to strengthen connections across Edmonton’s innovation ecosystem. This isn’t just networking. It’s a day of hands-on collaboration, live problem-solving, and real-time ecosystem mapping.

Participants will engage in dynamic roundtables, take part in ecosystem health check-ins grounded in Rainforest principles, and explore insights informed by the MIT REAP framework. A professional video shoot will also be available, giving attendees the opportunity to showcase who they are and what they do—both for ERIN’s platform and their own promotional use.

Whether you’re a founder, funder, service provider, or supporter - this is your space to connect, learn, and contribute to a stronger innovation community.

Join us for a day that’s all about getting to know one another—and continuing to build a collaborative, cohesive innovation community.
