Social Innovation Fair

We are delighted to announce the first Ottawa-Gatineau Social Innovation Fair! After a trying year, the Atelier and its partners wish to bring together the players in the innovation and social entrepreneurship sector one last time before the summer holidays.

On June 15, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on the Hopin platform, participants will be able to promote their company, initiative, or organization; form new partnerships; find new employment, internship, volunteer, or fundraising opportunities, or simply find out about the latest industry news. The fair will be punctuated by moments of discussion, surprise bilingual workshops as well as participation prizes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Individuals: buy my ticket here

Come and visit at your convenience, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and check out our three zones:

FAIR

Browse the virtual tables of exhibitors to discover projects and organizations in the region, find work, volunteer, or collaboration opportunities.

NETWORKING

Expand your network and/or find friends and collaborators!

WORKSHOPS

Throughout the fair, you can attend 20-minute hands-on workshops. For example: how to make a garden? How to repair your bike? Where to pick fruit for free in downtown Ottawa? How to start a collective kitchen project?

Exhibitors: BUY YOUR TICKET HERE AND USE CODE 1TABLE

To reserve a table, simply purchase a ticket using the code 1TABLE. The price is the same as the individual tickets, but this will allow us to contact you to personalize your table. If more than one person from your organization is participating, please also obtain a sufficient number of individual tickets. For any questions, please contact maja.messam@innovationsocialeusp.ca

HOW MUCH IS IT?

Student /Activist: $5
Non-profit* / Self-employed worker: $10
