One of the things I did during [[Vancouver Hack Day]] was set up a [[Polis]] poll around [DWebYVR / Vancouver tech topics](https://pol.is/4xdw4338kk). It's a way to gather feedback while also mapping consensus or differing opinions.

Part of [[Vancouver Startup Week]] 2024
+
+
​[[Ian Vanagas]] is the host of [[Smart Young BC]], a vision for and discussion about the future of BC. His core premise is that a strong indicator of success for our region is if **smart young people are moving here and staying here**.
+
+
​10 years ago, Boris Mannhelped organize the first Vancouver Startup Week. What has changed in 10 years? What's still left to work on? How do we work together to grow our city, our province, and our country?
+
+
​Join us for a discussion and call to action of how we make this a reality.
+
+
​_Note: we have venue and provisional time. Please register to save the date, we'll have final details and tickets as the VSW schedule is announced._

I organized the first version of this in 2014, called Startup Week Vancouver.
+
+
Other people stepped up in following years, including founding the Vancouver Startup Society as a non-profit association to run it.
+
## 2024
+
+
The VSW team reached out and asked if I wanted to host an event this year. With [[Ian Vanagas]], I'm hosting [[Smart Young BC VSW 2024]].
+
+
## Vancouver Startup Society
+
+
> The initiative is organized by the non-profit Vancouver Startup Society. We are proud to enjoy a relationship with Techstars, one of the premiere startup accelerator programs in the United States and whose great team coordinates Startup Weeks in every part of the globe.
