What happens when a hundred people from over 30 countries come together in one room?
You get magic. You get mango salad from Vietnam sitting beside samosas from India. You get laughter, stories, genuine connections, and that one person that that took the game very very seriously (we love it!).
Not because of a panel. Not because of a speaker. But because people showed up for each other.
That’s what makes these PORCH Potlucks so special.
Just real people, real food, and a shared passion to have fun and support each other.
If you’ve never seen someone try jollof rice for the first time while shouting "BINGO" with their mouth full, you’re missing out.
To everyone who came, thank you for bringing your dish, your smile, and your story.
This is what we’re building at PORCH. Something honest. Something real. Something needed.
A huge shoutout to our incredible sponsors and supporters of the night for making it happen!
One giant picnic. Zero boring speeches. And 40+ degrees of HEAT.
On Sunday we turned Coronation Park into a sea of blankets and great people.
Our kickoff to Toronto Tech Week looked more like a United Nations gathering than a networking event and that is exactly how we like it.
What went down...
🌎 People from more than 20 countries swapped stories, 10-second pitches, and some great snacks
🎤 An unplugged women’s circle drew the biggest, most heartfelt crowd on the grass led by #WomenofPORCH leader Naz Noorani and Tehmina Chaudhry of Canada Startup Association!
📸 Photos below prove the “most registrations we've ever gotten organizer panic” face eventually turned into pure joy
You will see laughter, new friendships, and just a great day with even better people.
Thank you to every one who showed up. You reminded us that community is not a buzzword... it is a picnic table with room for everyone. 💚
Thank you FreshBooks for supporting this incredible day!
