Non-Profit Technology at theDock

Join us for an engaging and informative evening at theDock: Centre for Social Impact, focused on how technology can empower local non-profits to do more good with fewer resources.

The event begins with a 20-minute networking mixer, offering guests the chance to connect with peers, share challenges, and spark collaborations over light refreshments. Following the mixer, attendees will hear four 10-minute presentations from local technology providers, each showcasing practical tools and services designed to help non-profits improve efficiency, security, communication, and community engagement. Each presentation will be followed by a brief 5-minute Q&A, allowing participants to explore real-world applications and ask provider-specific questions.

Whether you’re a charity, foundation, or social enterprise, this session will highlight accessible, mission-driven technology solutions that make a difference.
