START YOUR OWN
Be Part of the Squad
So many inspiring speeches. It really got me thinking about starting my own business!
- Legacy 2014 Attendee
For the do-ers of tomorrow, starting today.
Legacy is a “just do it” conference, where some of the most notable entrepreneurs (aka hustlers) teach you how they got started and give you tactical advice on growing a business.
Basically, we’re like TED talks but bolder and with a pretty wicked expansion pack.
The catch? Pretty much all of our speakers founded something before they were 25.
How legacy works
Legacy works like a business class: You show up and get taught strategies and philosophies for starting and growing your own business or project. At Legacy, you'll be using all of what you learn, and our speakers have all accomplished what they're teaching.

Should I come?
If you want to learn from ‘legit’ entrepreneurs and hear their stories, then yes you should come.
If you want to learn how to start a business or project from scratch (aka nada, aka nothing) then yes you should come.
If you’re a hustler/hacker/entrepreneur yourself and you want to improve, then yeah you should come.
Lastly, if you want to join a community of student entrepreneurs from across Canada, then YES you should come.
