Vancouver Bloggers Meetup (May 2009)

May has been a really hectic month for me, and June promises to be an even hectier one. But I want to keep the continuity of the Vancouver Bloggers Meetup and thus I decided to go ahead and hold the May one on Thursday, May 28th, 2009 at 6:00pm at the St. Regis Grill & Bar (the downstairs room is separate from the actual restaurant). For those of you who might have gone there for dinner or a pint before, it used to be called Anducci’s and it’s located almost at the corner of Granville and Dunsmuir (directly outside the Granville Skytrain Station). So, I fulfilled three requests I often get – accessibility in terms of transit and transportation, access to food/drinks and downtown location.

Previous meetups have had small speeches and lots of conversation. This time I took a chance and (responding to the feedback of many participants in the Vancouver Bloggers Meetup group) I organized a panel with Lorraine Murphy, Shane Gibson and myself as speakers, and Colleen Coplick as the moderator/fourth panelist. I think the model of the fourth panelist has had a lot of success lately. When Jay Piddy, Shane and myself participated in the panel for Amuse Consulting, Tris Hussey contributed greatly to the conversation as the liveblogger and fourth panelist.

I really look forward to this VBM, as the months of June, July and August are going to be a bit crazy for me. In June, Tanya and Monica, Shane, Steve Jagger and myself are joining forces for the Meetup of Meetups, Summer Edition and the remainder of the summer will probably be light on meetups.

So head over to the Meetup site and RSVP! Hope to see you there!
