What is PrideHacks?
QueerTech's annual hackathon bringing together people from Canada's tech ecosystem to design, build, and implement technology solutions for nonprofit organizations that serve the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
"PrideHacks allows us to connect, support and celebrate nonprofit organizations who are part of the LGTBQIA+ community. As part of Montreal’s tech ecosystem, we feel passionate about collaborating with our local organizations - helping them build and implement tech solutions that will help them thrive." --Google Team
QueerTech is pleased to announce that for the first time in 2022, we will host two PrideHacks events - one in Toronto and one in Montreal!
