Calgary’s tech community will kick off the new year with a compelling conversation as Bobbie Racette — founder and former CEO of Virtual Gurus — headlines Redefining the Room: Bobbie Racette in Conversation on January 13, 2026 at the Platform Innovation Centre.
Presented by A100 and Platform Calgary, the morning session runs 7:30-9:00am and features a fireside chat plus networking breakfast designed for founders, operators, and ecosystem builders.
