Tech Connect Meetup: Runeborn Edition
July 8 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$10.00
Are you involved or looking to get involved in the Windsor-Essex tech scene or gaming community?
On July 8th, the Windsor tech and gaming communities will come together for Tech Connect Meetup: Runeborn Edition, a special evening dedicated to celebrating innovation, ingenuity, and a truly homegrown success story.
Hosted by WEtech Alliance and powered by St. Clair College Alumni Association, the event takes place at WindsorEats from 5:30pm to 8pm, spotlighting the official launch of Runeborn, the first PC video game from Windsor-based developers, iDream Interactive.
The event is more than just a game launch; it’s a full-circle moment. Runeborn is the brainchild of iDream Interactive, a local studio led by St. Clair College alumni Jacob Duhaime and John Charette. The two met in high school and later studied together in the College’s Tradigital Animation program, where they first floated the idea of one day working together. That vision became a reality when John officially joined the iDream team in 2021. Since then, the company has grown to a team of twelve, with the studio developing over 15 games for corporate clients across North America.
What to Expect:
In addition to networking with the iDream team, fellow gamers and tech enthusiasts, attendees will enjoy a special behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the making of the game, offering insight into the creative and technical process behind this ambitious release.
Fun food and drink options will be available for purchase, with WindsorEats crafting Runeborn-themed cocktail and mocktail flights inspired by the different rune colours featured in the game. A variety of food trucks will also be on site dishing out delicious eats for guests to enjoy.
Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered! The WindsorEats Food Hall offers both indoor and outdoor seating options PLUS we’ve rented some tents, should Mother Nature decide not to cooperate.
Don’t miss out on this unique blend of culture and connection. Secure your spot today!
