Sending our friends at RIFFLANDIA FESTIVAL all our love as they break today's tough news: The Rifflandia Festival has closed its gates for good.
Our entire crew has made many memories over the years, working with Rifflandia on different activations (Like the Tectoria space bus, and the art car), tying it into our investor summit, bringing "Thinklandia" to a parkade rooftop, handing out rain ponchos and prism glasses, and most memorably... tossing hundreds of inflatable whales into the crowd.
The tech community and the arts community are intertwined, and Rifflandia brought that out more than any festival. Thank you for the memories.

Trade the laptop for a ballpark hot dog. On Thursday, July 9th, VIATEC takes over the Canadian Club House at Royal Athletic Park for an evening of baseball, cold drinks, and the tech community under the summer sky. The Victoria HarbourCats are hosting the Bend Elks, and you've got one of the best seats in the park.

This is our easiest networking event of the year. No name tags pinned to blazers. No conference room fluorescents. Just your people, a private bar, and nine innings of reasons to talk to someone new.

VIATEC Member Pre-sale on now until June 9th, after which we'll open it up to Non-members.

See you there ⚾ https://members.viatec.ca/event-calendar/Details/viatec-summer-social-at-the-harbourcats-1732151?sourceTypeId=Website
