Start Something Summit brings together the top teams from the Hunter Hub's Business Playbook, Launchpad, Evolve to Innovate (e2i), and Map the System programs. It’s where ideas move beyond the UCalgary campus and into the spotlight. Part live competition, part innovation showcase, part community gathering — this is where Calgary’s next wave of changemakers step forward. Experience the energy of the Hunter Hub live and watch as the top two innovators from each program go head-to-head for a share of $40,000 in prizes.
