One of my favourite things about the Vancouver tech community is, well, the community. One of the main reasons I decided to throw caution, and a job, to the wind and stay in B.C. instead of moving to Toronto was the community and circle of friends I have here.
So true to Vancouver form, after chatting with Raul this morning (and confusing him with a bad pun), he let me know about tonight’s Ideas On Tap event tonight in Yaletown (W00t! Walking distance!).
The event is free, and open to all techies around, but you do have to register (for headcounts and a name tag thingy).
Although I’ve been a part of the tech scene in Vancouver for a long while, I wasn’t during the Dot Com boom and bust so I didn’t know the context and history of the event. That gap was filled by Rebecca’s post from earlier this month announcing the re-launch of Ideas On Tap. Being the tech maven she is, Rebecca will also be participating in Ideas on Tap (live blogging I’m guessing).
Me, I’ll stick to live tweeting and taking pictures. I’m guessing that this will be a venue for the flash, but I doubt I’ll pull out The Lens for this one.
See you tonight.
