Events

The most up-to-date information on our events is always stored over on our Meetup page.

We encourage you to become a member of our Meetup group for several reasons:

  1. It helps us a lot if people RSVP (and you need to be a member to RSVP) – that way we know how many chairs, cups, etc. we’re going to need.
  2. It allows us to email you if there are changes in plans, or important updates between events.
  3. Creating a profile helps other people learn a little about who you are before the next event.

Our first meeting was Monday, October 19th, 2009. We kicked things off with some introductions – got to meet each other, share what we’ve got up our sleeves & what’s been working in Seattle, and most importantly, gave everyone in attendance a chance to tell us what they’d been dying to get out of a Vancouver business group.

We’ve posted the initial results from the meeting here.
