The Quest for Scale: Salon & ScaleUP Social
Taking ideas from inception to part of every day dialogue takes hard work, and scale is key. To be effective, ideas need to scale to a point of mass and momentum in order to become part of our shared ideas space.
Join four of the 2025 ScaleUP Award winning companies as they take the stage in collaboration with TEDxCalgary at The Ampersand downtown Calgary on Thursday, January 22. Learn their stories then participate in facilitated discussion circles. Wrap up the evening with food & drinks in the lounge at the ScaleUP Social sponsored by MNP.
This event also marks the official launch of the 2026 ScaleUP Awards, recognizing high-growth ventures across Western Canada. Nominate a company or submit an application when they open on January 12th.
