Welcome back to VTJ’s Midweek Memo: the Vancouver tech events and opportunities newsletter you can’t miss.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Vancouver Tech Days, presented by Xero
🗓 July 27-28 | Join us at the mixer
Vancouver Tech Days brings together the city's top founders, operators, and executives for two afternoons of learning from companies that have actually broken through — nine-figure revenue, eight-plus figures raised. Real playbooks from teams that have scaled, not just theory.
While standard tickets are sold out, we’ve opened up networking only tickets for both days. Save your spot.
Brought to you by: Xero, Starboard Recruitment, DIGITAL, Segev LLP, Web Summit Vancouver, BCIT, Inetco, and Fasken.
