Why come
What you come here for
On October 1, professionals, students, entrepreneurs, allies and hiring companies come together in Laval. Five conferences during the day, a panel and a pitch contest in the evening, and everything that happens in between, which is often the most useful part.
JFN is not just another trade show. It is a day designed so you leave with something concrete: a contact, a job lead, a skill, or simply the confirmation that there is a place for you.
- Meet companies that are hiring, and talk to the people who make decisions
- Leave with practical advice for your career path
- Connect with professionals, mentors and other technology enthusiasts
- Attend conferences led by experts from the field
Who it’s for
Open to everyone
JFN puts women in technology front and centre. It is not limited to them.
Women, men, professionals, entrepreneurs, students, people in career transition, technology enthusiasts and allies: JFN 2026 is open to everyone.
