Montréal is home to over 100 companies and six universities with photonics activities that drive regional economic development. This paper provides an update on the Montréal Photonics Networking Event, an annual meeting heading into its’ 8th edition in 2024. The event’s stated mission is to build a collaborative environment for the development of student researchers, with the ambition to facilitate research synergies and connect with the industry to showcase research and career opportunities. Since 2015, online and in-person events have taken place, with a measured growth of 50% year-on-year, a cumulative reach of 600 participants, and the establishment of 30 partnerships with industry, photonics student chapters, research clusters, and socio-economic development partners. The event is coordinated by a network of volunteer students and professional's representative of the attendees and collaborators. Activities, promotional material, and marketing strategies to create audience engagement before, during, and after the event will be presented, along with lessons learned to enable peer-to-peer development online and in person across multiple academic research institutions.
