The best part of this community has always been the people. Summer Shaker is your excuse to slow down for an evening of casual, no-stress networking. If you've spent the last few months heads down, this is your chance to reconnect with old friends and see what you've missed.

That means no panels. No pitches. No packed agenda.

Expect Muskoka chairs, cold drinks, elevated BBQ, summer playlists, and the kind of conversations you never seem to have enough time for! 🌞🍻

SR&ED just opened up in a big way, but for most teams, it’s also become more difficult to navigate.

More companies can now access refunds. Equipment is back on the table. Limits are higher. But the questions we’re hearing haven’t gone away:

➡️ What actually qualifies as R&D?
➡️ How does this impact our IRAP or other funding?
➡️ If we’re working with partners, who claims what?
➡️ Are we structuring this the right way—or leaving money behind?

We’re bringing in Scitax Advisory Partners LP to walk through what’s changed, where teams are getting stuck, and how to approach these updates to maximize your claim.

If you’re responsible for how your company funds R&D, this will give you a clearer path forward. Secure your spot: https://www.techalliance.ca/the-alliance-series/masterclass/ -Registration
