Founder Series - Building a Brand for Better

Meet the people building brands for better. Join us for founder stories, fresh perspectives and meaningful community connections. What does it take to build a brand that makes things better? Our Founder Series continues on November 10, bringing our community together to hear from people building businesses and brands with purpose. We’ll explore the experiences behind the work: what sparked the idea, the choices that shaped it, the challenges along the way and how founders turn their values into action. Our featured speaker will be announced soon. Expect an honest conversation, ideas you can bring into your own work and time to connect with people who care about making a positive difference. Whether you’re building a business, supporting a local cause or looking for your next way to contribute, you’re welcome here. Tuesday, November 10, 2026 · 7–9 PM Heritage Hall, Vancouver Come curious. Leave connected. What to Expect: • Connection: Experience the magic of storytelling that builds bridges between cultures and perspectives. • Emotion: Get ready to laugh, cry, and feel inspired by the varied, short-story-style personal narratives of our carefully selected storytellers. • Inspiration: Discover new perspectives and be moved by the raw, authentic human experiences shared on stage.

Our goal is to raise awareness, connect volunteers and resources, and help amplify great local initiatives. Space is limited to 2 pitches per event, so apply early! Fill out this FORM Why Attend As the digital world grows noisier and we increasingly question what’s real, what’s human or AI, true or fabricated, what we’ll crave most are things that are tangible and trustworthy. That’s why in-person communities are becoming more vital than ever: spaces where real people gather, connect, and act together.
