Ideas Victoria was founded in 2007 by Kris Constable as a place for critical thinkers to meet and discuss their ideas. IdeaWave Conference July 10 & 11th was an offshoot of these meetings. 50 speakers for 10 minutes each over 2 days. Here's my presentation "Set Theory and Human Relationships - The Importance of One".  The next IdeaWave is scheduled for February 22 and 23rd I'll be speaking on "Building Resilient Networks, Online and Off, in the 21st Century"

If you like ideas, don't miss this conference!


On International Free Hugs Day July 3rd a small group of us, mostly sourced through Twitter, greeted passersby at the Tourism Victoria info centre.

Lunches take place at different restaurants in the Capital Region. Check http://www.meetup.com/lunchtweetups for more details. The first meetup of 2011 is January 12th at AURA Restaurant

The founders of Social Media Club, Kristie Wells and Chris Heuer, visited Victoria June 4th to meet the social media community face to face. What a tweetup that turned out to be with over 100 people in attendance.

June 30th was Social Media Day worldwide (as proclaimed by Mashable). Organizer Paul Holmes was able to have the day officially recognized by the City of Victoria. This made Mashable's front page!  The Fairmont Empress hosted a tweetup/meetup at the Bengal Lounge.
