👋 Good morning, and welcome to VTJ’s Sunday Briefing: your weekly digest of the city’s innovation news, deals, insights, and more.

I’ve got something special for you this Sunday.

This week marked World News Day — a global campaign to showcase the value of fact-based journalism. Our writers and editors at Vancouver Tech Journal have been working their butts off over the last four years to bring you the truth of the news that matters to you: our community.

I wanted to take this moment to thank our VTJ members, who support us with their subscriptions of only $8.25 a month. None of this is possible without you.

And to celebrate World News Day, we want to give more of you the opportunity to see how good members’ life is. Want to join our members-only events? Get half-price on all events VTJ runs? Read our exclusive articles? Be sent playbooks and cheatsheets to advance your career in Vancouver tech? You can have it all — and more — as a member:

Now onto today’s briefing. It’s 1,194 words: a three-minute read.
