ICAIT Successfully Holds Informal Launch Event! 🚀🇨🇦

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the highly successful informal launch of the Association of Vietnamese Canadian IT Professionals (VICAIT)!

• Time: 10:00-14:00 September 27, 2025
• Place: Offline at Mississauga Valley Park, Ontario & Online

We gathered for our very first meeting, which brought together over 100 members from the Vietnamese Canadian IT community spanning across Canada. It was an inspiring event, marking the true beginning of a vibrant community dedicated to sharing knowledge, providing mutual support, and actively contributing to the technological landscape of Canada.

 

A Community Takes Root

This inaugural gathering laid the foundation for what we envision: a strong network where IT professionals can connect, mentor, and grow together. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone in attendance clearly signal the need and desire for this community. Thank you to every single member who took the time out of their busy schedules to join us and share in this important first step.

Heartfelt Thanks to Our Esteemed Supporters and Contributors! 🙏
