Ideas On Tap

In June 1999 I joined a Yaletown Web design company called Stratford Internet Technologies as the Webmaster for DiscoverVancouver.com. I had been working in the hotel industry for 3 years and was looking to make a change into the emerging world of the Internet. I was living in my parents basement and spending far too much time in front of the computer. With my social life in need of an upgrade, and few friends in the industry, I started attending every high-tech related networking event I could find. Back then, a Yaletown incubator called ideaPARK, launched an event called Ideas on Tap and for a year, until the dot-com crash, it was the most fun networking event around. The event was informal and simple and was hosted at the Yaletown Brewing Company. 8 and a bit years years later, 6S Marketing is bringing it back and trying to retain its grass roots feel.
