Vancouver, BC, June 4, 2009 – It will be more brains, business and beer than ever at the Commodore Ballroom on June 11th. Vancouver’s most popular business and technology networking event, Ideas on Tap, is back in a very big way. Literally. Hosted by 6S Marketing and presented by Elastic Path Software, Ideas on Tap has become so popular that it has outgrown its original venue (Yaletown Brewing Co.) and will now see industry enthusiasts gather at the Commodore to sip, chat, pitch, share and more.
“We were hopeful that bringing Ideas on Tap back in Vancouver would be well received.” says Chris Breikss, Co-Founder and President of 6S Marketing. “We didn’t anticipate the extent to which is was, however, and are truly impressed at the size and strength of the tech and business community that this city boasts. We are having a great time planning and hosting this event.”
6S Marketing originally introduced Ideas on Tap in October 2008 and enjoyed attendance of a dynamic audience of over 250 web developers, social media marketers, internet marketers, designers, videographers, bloggers and e-commerce experts and more.
The growing popularity of Ideas on Tap clearly demonstrates the mobilization of the Vancouver tech and business community and with this third installment of the event, the willingness and desire of those within the industries to interact, share and have a great time is more apparent than ever. Over 650 people have already registered for Ideas on Tap and final numbers are expected to hit the 800 mark. The event is slated to be one of the largest networking gatherings in the city annually.
The upcoming Ideas on Tap will feature cut throat-style elevator pitches from some of the industry’s most savvy business leaders, and the pressure is on. Presenting on-stage, under the spotlight and in front of hundreds of peers and colleagues, speakers will have only 60-seconds to present a compelling company or business pitch. The winner will be chosen via the loudest applause from the crowd.
Presenting sponsor, Elastic Path, has also created some exciting highlights for attendees. The company will be giving away tickets to The Blue Man Group, but guests are going to have to crack the code, so to speak, to win (we can’t tell you any more than that). The company will also be handing out $1000 cheques to the crowd as they arrive. There is, however, a catch, as the cheques are a creative stunt to promote the fact that Elastic Path is thriving and expanding. Anyone who provides a referral to the company that translates into an actual hire, will get to cash their cheque.
Expecting inevitable overflow for the event, Doolin’s Pub has been confirmed to host after-parties.
The upcoming Ideas on Tap will be held on Thursday June 11, 2009 at the Commodore Ballroom at 5:30pm.
“We would love to see this event continue to grow. For the next Ideas on Tap we just might have to book GM Place,” jokes Breikss.
