UPCOMING EVENTS
🗓 Wednesday, May 27 | Register
Four days. Thousands of attendees. A global spotlight on Vancouver. Again. Round two is officially over.
Now that the dust has settled, we’re bringing together local leaders from the worlds of tech, startups, and government to unpack year two of Web Summit Vancouver.
🗓 Monday, June 1 | Register
Every couple of weeks, we post up at a bar or café for informal, no-agenda conversation. Grab a beer, coffee, or tea and come talk to us about whatever’s on your mind—fundraising, storytelling, media, community building, where the ecosystem is heading, or something totally different.
🗓 Wednesday, July 8 | Register
With Web Summit in the rearview mirror and the year already half gone, we're bringing together some familiar faces to dig into what's shaped Vancouver tech in 2026 — and what the rest of the year might hold. Good conversation guaranteed.
