Ever wonder what is going on at the leading edge of technology and user experience research and design in Ottawa? Well here’s your chance to see some exciting new companies show off their wares at CapCHI’s Startup Showcase!
The evening will feature local startups presenting their products and business concepts. The aim of the event is to get these companies exposed and to provide them with valuable feedback that can help them tweak a product, improve the product roadmap, or simply get some words of encouragement that they’re doing an awesome job.
We will have a panel of UX experts to get the post-presentation discussion going. Come for the product demos and stay for the awesome networking, food, and drinks. Anyone and everyone is welcome.
Free parking after 5PM at 240 Sparks Street, which you access from 235 Queen Street.
There is an elevator to the 3rd floor, unfortunately, not large enough for a wheelchair, but good for anyone who has a walker, or is challenged by stairs.
DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, January 15, 2019, 6:30 – 9:30 pm; doors open a 6:00 pm.
LOCATION: The Clubhouse – Mulligan’s Golf Bar, 201 Queen Street, 3rd Floor, Ottawa, ON K1P 5C9.
REGISTRATION: (Free!) We request that you pre-register via Eventbrite, but it is not required to attend… https://www.eventbrite.com/e/capchi-startup-showcase-tickets-53953045010

Our swimmers range from pre-teen club swimmers all the way to national federation-level Olympic swimmers, and so our UX must provide quick and easy insight as well as deeper analysis.
