YYC Tech & Friends Pickleball Open 2.0: Summer Smash
We're back and better than ever! Following the incredible success of our inaugural event in February, which brought together 75+ ventures and pickleball enthusiasts, we're thrilled to announce the return of the Tech & Friends Pickleball Open on June 21, 2025, at the Calgary Pickleball Center. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Crohn's and Colitis Canada.
Join us and fellow tech enthusiasts, business builders and operators, and friends, for our summer edition! From seasoned pickleball veterans to complete beginners, this is a unique opportunity to connect with peers outside the typical conference setting.
Register with a partner or solo, and we'll match you with partners for an exciting round-robin tournament and playoff bracket! Returning players can showcase their improved skills, while newcomers will discover why pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in North America.
The $100 registration fee includes:
A one-hour professional coaching session before the tournament begins
Full tournament entry
Lunch and refreshments throughout the day
Networking opportunities with Calgary's tech, venture, and business community
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Crohn's and Colitis Canada.
Early registration is encouraged as our February event sold out quickly!
