On May 21st I attended Launch Party Vancouver 4 at Republic. I have enjoyed each of the previous 3 and found it a great opportunity to network and learn about cool tech stuff happening within the Vancouver social and digital media scene and to a great extent British Columbia. I highly recommend attending Launch Party Vancouver 5.

The Sponsors:
Peer 1 , Sun Vancouver, Techvibes, Scott Dunlop from Davis LLP, Layer 7, and Strutta.

Jordan Behan of Strutta has created a Flickr group pool that has been used to share photos of the different Launch Party Vancouver events. In addition, you can read Miss 604 for her analysis of the night.

Relevance: the Launch Party Vancouver events are excellent opportunities to learn, network, and socialise.
