FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Innovative and forward-thinking tech and business leaders are set to gather for a two-day, multi-sector conference next week at the inaugural INNOVATEwest event in Vancouver, and there’s so much to check out.
INNOVATEwest on April 16 and 17 at the Vancouver Convention Centre is a new addition to the Cube Business Media family, which has been behind Ottawa’s SAAS NORTH and the Tech Talent North series.
The event promises to be more than your typical conference and will even give some attendees the chance to take home thousands of dollars. Tickets are on sale now.

“It’s been several years since we’ve had the opportunity to gather Vancouver’s tech sector together in a big way and INNOVATEwest promises to deliver an experience that is truly driven by our local tech ecosystem,” said David Seymour, VP Engineering + GM Microsoft Vancouver.
Some of the highlights will be the Grizzly Pursuit pitch event, which offers a chance to win $20,000, or the FIREHOOD Angel Camp, which promotes women-led startups and could leave one future tech giant with $100,000 in capital and mentorship.
Topics will range from startups, AI, applications, data, cybersecurity, and how we interact with tech. Plus, attendees will get a first-hand chance to learn from the teams of big and small tech companies like Microsoft, Blackberry, Google, Ada, Clio, Jane, Jobber, and Klue.

Keynote speaker, tech titan, and Silicon Valley legend Guy Kawasaki will be among the 100+ speakers at the event. Fans of his podcast, Remarkable People, or any of his books will want to listen to his practical but arguably still radical discussion of how to make a difference in your life.
“As a pioneering figure in the tech world, Guy Kawasaki epitomizes the spirit of INNOVATEwest—bold, visionary and forward-thinking,” Cube Business Media and event co-founder David Tyldesley said about the Canva and Apple Macintosh evangelist.

“His presence will set the tone for two days of transformative conversations, spontaneous connections and electric energy that we know Western Canada’s tech and tech-enabled business communities have been asking for,” Tyldesley added.
Cube Business Media Inc. is set to expand its boutique conference and exposition company’s offerings this year. The BC-based company plans to hold more events nationally and stateside. To learn more, visit the website.
