Toronto Fractional Executives Pub Night -- November 2026

# **Toronto Fractional Executives Pub Night: Round 3!** We're back for round three! After two great get-togethers earlier this year, we're excited to bring Toronto's fractional executive community together again for another evening of relaxed, in-person networking. If you're a Fractional COO, CFO, CTO, CMO, CHRO, or another senior operator working on a fractional basis, this event is for you. It's also a great opportunity for founders and investors who work with fractional leaders to connect with the people doing the work. The idea is simple: **step away from your screens, grab a drink, and connect with people who actually get the fractional life.** ## **What to expect** * **Relaxed, pub-style networking**, no presentations, no slide decks, no panels. * **Real conversations** with experienced executives and operators. * **Ideas and insights** on fractional work, finding clients, and building a successful practice. * **New connections** that could lead to referrals, collaborations, and partnerships. No formal agenda and no pressure. Come when you can, grab a drink, and mingle. ## **Who should attend?** * Practicing fractional executives (CXOs). * Independent consultants operating at the executive level. * Experienced operators considering a move into fractional work. * Founders and senior executives at SMBs looking for fractional leadership. * VC/PE executives exploring fractional leadership for their portfolio companies. Whether you're well-established in the fractional world or just exploring the idea, come out and join us. ## **The details** **Venue:** Paupers Pub, second floor **Address:** 539 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M5S 1Y5 **Getting there:** Paupers is on the south side of Bloor, just east of Bathurst, and a short walk from Bathurst subway station. **Bar:** Cash bar, with food available for purchase. **Space may be limited, so please RSVP if you plan to attend.** **Going forward, all registrations will happen on Luma.

TorontoAI + AWS User Group - Demo Day

Ask Your Data Warehouse Questions With a Model You Host Yourself Short abstract (for the agenda): Please register - https://www.meetup.com/aws-ug-toronto/events/316858236/ A live demo of db-agent, an open-source text-to-SQL agent, querying a Databricks warehouse using a local LLM through Ollama. No model API, no per-question token bill, nothing leaving your network. I'll also show the guardrail that stops the agent from running a destructive query. Longer version (if they ask for one): Text-to-SQL is everywhere now. Running it on a metered model API means every question has a price, and many teams can't send schema to an outside model at all. In this demo I'll run db-agent with a local model through Ollama against a Databricks SQL warehouse on AWS. You'll see what a self-hosted model handles well, where it fails, and the read-only safety layer that keeps it from changing data. Code is open source: github.com/db-agent/db-agent

Mob Programming

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
