Best Events Tech Companies in Canada
The 155 best Events Tech companies in Canada in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Nymi.
Canada's Events Tech sector has 155 companies tracked, $92M in disclosed funding, and zero unicorns yet — which tells you something real about where this market sits right now. Connect&Go leads the directory at $18M raised, with Nymi close behind at $30M, and a long tail of earlier-stage bets like Spontivly ($2M) and Stay22 ($750K) rounding out a field that's still finding its ceiling. The global events technology market was valued at roughly $53.6B in 2022 and is forecast to reach $76.7B by 2028, compounding at 8.7% annually — driven by demand to meet, network, and learn in formats that scale. Canada's slice of that is modest but active.
The momentum signal I find most telling: median install growth across 56 events services apps is running at roughly +19% year-over-year. That's not noise. Investors like Ontario Centre of Innovation and 7 Gate Ventures are paying attention, and so is Conconi Growth Partners. So if you're mapping the Canadian Events Tech ecosystem by funding disclosed and recent deal velocity, this is the directory built for that. The field is early, the capital is concentrated at the top, and the growth curve underneath it is real.
