Keep it casual! It’s summer in Montreal, and temperatures and humidity soar in the summertime. Keep it casual; shorts, jeans, and T-shirts are the dress code at Startupfest. We do have large lounges with floors, but a good part of the venue is on grass, so we suggest you don’t wear heels! Expect it to be a bit cooler at night. Check out the forecast!
What can I eat or drink at the event?
In addition to complimentary breakfast and coffee every day (except Monday), we have partnered with a number of food trucks who will be selling their specialties onsite. There will also be a bar in one of our Lounges, a food stand open all day and water refill stations all around our venue, so bring your reusable bottle!
Can I charge my phone or my computer onsite?
Yes! There will be outlets onsite, no need to worry! Just bring your own chargers.
Is there somewhere for me to put my stuff?
