StartUP TanenbaumCHAT 2026

On Thursday, March 5, TanenbaumCHAT transformed our Hennick Family Atrium into StartUP CHAT, our annual business-focused conference that gives our Business, Accounting, and Economics students the opportunity to hear real-life insights from seasoned business leaders.

This year, TanenbaumCHAT was honoured to welcome CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston as our keynote speaker, followed by a panel discussion featuring Nathan Ladovsky (CEO, United Bakers Dairy), Kelly Ostro ’03 (@kelly_ostro_styled), Ryan Shupak ’04 (Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Jiffy), and Tyler Cocci ’24 (Electric Digital).

A sincere thank you to our keynote speaker and panelists for taking valuable time out of their day to inspire our students, and to our @tcbusinesscouncil for organizing the event. Scroll down for more photos from the event.
