Description

Don’t miss your chance to connect, grow, and celebrate with the 2SLGBTQIA+ tech community!

Join us for the QTConnect Meetup in Toronto, hosted by Wattpad— a vibrant, in-person event designed to foster connection, career development, and community-building among 2SLGBTQIA+ tech professionals and allies.

Each quarter, we bring QTConnect to spotlight local voices and create inclusive spaces for queer folks in tech. Toronto’s dynamic tech scene and diverse queer community make it the perfect place to come together, share experiences, and spark meaningful conversations.

Whether you're a seasoned expert or just starting out, this meetup is your chance to expand your network and build lasting relationships. Expect engaging discussions, new connections, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere where everyone belongs.

ABOUT OUR HOST:

Wattpad is a global storytelling platform where writers and readers connect, share, and discover stories across every genre—from romance and teen fiction to fan fiction. With over 90 million monthly users and more than 665 million story uploads, Wattpad is a vibrant hub for creative voices around the world.

Championing Diversity and Inclusion
Wattpad is committed to creating a workplace and community that celebrates diversity. In 2018, 13% of its employees identified as LGBTQ+ and 3% as transgender. The company actively promotes inclusion through a dedicated diversity and inclusion committee and tools like Textio to reduce bias in hiring.

Join the Team: Wattpad is hiring! From engineering and content moderation to accounting, there are opportunities to grow, collaborate, and make an impact—whether you work remotely or from their dynamic downtown Toronto office. Explore current openings here: Wattpad Careers.

Why Wattpad Stands Out
Wattpad’s unique blend of technology and storytelling has created globally recognized hits. After by Anna Todd, which started on Wattpad, has over a billion reads and was adapted into a successful film series (WIRED). By democratizing storytelling, Wattpad gives creators of all backgrounds a platform to share their voices and reach audiences worldwide.

With a strong presence in Canada’s tech scene, a commitment to diversity, and a focus on empowering creators, Wattpad continues to lead the way in digital storytelling.
