The #BCTECH Summit is less than one week away! We’re so excited to see you on May 15 & 16 that we put together this handy little guide of the top 5 things to know before you go:
1. Download the app
We’ve gone paperless this year, so the #BCTECH Summit app is your one-stop shop to view the agenda, create your own schedule, connect with attendees and speakers, and much more. Download the app today.
2. Pick up your badge early to avoid the rush!
Don’t spend your Tuesday morning waiting in line. Registration will be open from 10am to 6pm on Monday, May 14th. Just bring a photo ID to the registration centre, which is located just inside the Burrard Street Entrance of the Vancouver Convention Centre West Building. And if you’re dropping by in the evening, make sure to stick around for #BCTECH on the Terrace, which kicks off at 5pm!
3. More ways to connect
We’ve got eight side-events planned before, during and after the Summit for you to enjoy. Whether you want to become a LipSync maker master, join a thought-provoking discussion on Women in Tech, or celebrate at the official #BCTECH Summit After Party at Science World, there’s something for everyone to check out.
4. To-Dos at the Summit
Besides attending sessions and hearing from our incredible speakers, here are a couple more things you can add to your Summit to-do list:
- We’re offering morning Sweatworking on May 16th! Go for a run or learn some new yoga moves to start your day off right.
- Bring your used batteries to the Summit and Teck will donate the value of all zinc collected to zinc and health programs in Kenya.
- The Electronic Recycling Association will be on site to safely and securely recycle your unwanted hard drives, phones and discs. Find them at Booth 310 in the Marketplace.
