Next Wave began with Luca Arsenault and Mallak Al-Moghrabi, and a shared idea: make it easier for Montréal’s ambitious people to find each other.

From the first conference to tech gatherings and afternoons outdoors, the purpose stays the same. Bring people together. Share what you know. See what comes next.
