Lichess Meetup: Toronto
Sunday, October 19th, 2025Lichess Meetup: Toronto
Every so often members of the Lichess team try to find a time and place that several of us can meet up in person and work on projects face to face. In October 2025 several members of the Lichess team will be gathering in Toronto Canada. As with previous meetups in Berlin or Barcelona we will be organising an opportunity for us to meet with some of the Lichess community.
On Sunday, October 19th, from 6pm until 9pm we would be thrilled if you could join us at the Annex Chess Club which is located at 918 Bathurst St. for a few hours of chess, snacks, and camaraderie open to the public. Boards and sets will be available as will several moderators, devs, organisers and administrators of the site we all love.
You can find further direction on how to reach the Annex Chess Club here
Please check back with this blog as we will be adding details of public events and fun opportunities to meet members of the Lichess team and other local chess enthusiasts.
Thank you for everything,
The Lichess Team
