Obsidi® Lime 2026 is officially SOLD OUT. 🎉🌴

The passes disappeared fast — and it’s clear there’s a real appetite for conversations, community, and content like this from CIBC x Obsidi®
If anything, consider this your warning sign for BFUTR 2026. 👀

CIBC will also be at BFUTR alongside some of the biggest companies, leaders, and conversations shaping the future of work — and if Lime moved this quickly, BFUTR passes won’t sit around for long either.

20,000+ attendees. 100+ speakers. Two days built for the people, reprogramming technology, talent, and leadership in the AI economy.

📅 Nov 19–20, 2026 | Mississauga, ON
🎟️ Early bird passes from $0 for Obsidi® members

The work you've been doing deserves more than an internal Slack shoutout.

BMO Financial Group just published the full story on the 2026 Obsidi® Awards — 10 categories, one stage, and a deadline of June 30 to get your name in.

This year's theme is Building What's Next. It's not a tagline — it's a description of the people we're looking for. The ones shipping real products, leading through hard pivots, securing systems that matter, and building community where there wasn't one.

📖 Read the full story → https://www.bmo.com/en-ca/main/about-bmo/news-insights/blog/nominations-now-open-for-the-2026-obsidi-awards/

And for the next 48 hours? Your seat is FREE.

Montreal, we're coming back to the city — and this time, we're bringing Accenture with us!

On July 7th, Obsidi® Tech Talks returns to Montreal for an evening with senior Accenture leaders speaking candidly about what it actually takes to lead, build trust, and grow in a market where AI is reshaping every engagement.

This is the kind of access that moves careers forward.

You'll leave with a clearer picture of the leadership and communication skills driving career progression in tech right now, and direct connections with Accenture leaders and recruiters.

📅 July 7, 2026 | 6:00 – 9:00 PM | Montreal, QC

This is what a 2025 OBSIDI® Awards winner sounds like. 💜

Ellie Braham — Breakout Professional of the Year (Technology) — said it straight: the skills AND the relationships. That's the combination that moves the needle.

Nominations for the 2026 OBSIDI® Awards are open NOW.
Deadline: June 30th.

Who in your circle deserves this stage next? Or maybe it's you.

The job offer comes before the training. 👀

Most programs make you learn first and hope for the best.

The Obsidi® AI Career Fellowship flips it — selected engineers get a conditional Fortune 500 offer in hand before the AI sprint starts. You train knowing exactly where you're going.

Zero cost. Highly selective. Built for experienced engineers who are ready to stop reacting to the AI economy and start leading in it.

Three years of the OBSIDI® Awards Tech Executive of the Year, presented by Scotiabank — and the bar just keeps rising. 🏆

Daphne McRae. Alex Coleman. Krista Satterthwaite.

These leaders didn't wait for a seat at the table — they built the table, drove transformation, and raised the standard for what executive leadership looks like in tech.

Who's next?

The nominations for 2026 are OPEN — but not for long. You have until June 30 to put a name forward. If you know a tech executive redefining what's possible, now is the time.

bWE LAUNCHED SOMETHING NEW TODAY 🚨

Introducing the Obsidi® AI Career Fellowship.

A new AI career acceleration program built for experienced engineers who want to transition into AI-enabled enterprise roles — without starting over.

Not another AI course.
Not another certification funnel.

This is:
→ Offer first
→ Then the training
→ Then you start

We’re launching multiple cohorts across AWS, Front End, Back End, Web Development, and more.

Our first cohort is now open:
🔥 AI AWS Engineer Fellowship with BMO

Built for experienced engineers ready to level up into the enterprise AI era.

✅ Fully funded
✅ Built for working professionals
✅ Real enterprise AI systems training
✅ Production-grade workflows + capstone projects

More cohorts coming soon — this is just the start.

The market is shifting fast, and the engineers who learn to build and operate AI systems early will have a huge advantage.

Tag an engineer who needs to see this 👇🏾

Last night was DIFFERENT. 🔥

We brought together 60+ of North America’s top tech executives for a private mixer hosted by BOXX Insurance — and by the time the BFUTR 2026 Launch Party opened up, the room was overflowing.

Hundreds pulled up.
Music LOUD.
Room PACKED.
Real conversations. Real connections. Real energy.
Then the headliner reveal happened… and people LOST IT. 👀

This is what happens when the most ambitious people in tech link up in one room.
And that was ONLY the warmup.

In November, BFUTR returns on a bigger scale:
→ Bigger stages
→ Bigger conversations
→ Bigger access
→ Bigger opportunities to accelerate your career, business, and network

If you missed last night… don’t miss what’s next.
Register for BFUTR 2026 now.
