The 6th annual Interesting Vancouver is co-presented by The Museum of Vancouver on Friday, November 8th, 2013.
Limited tickets available for this evening. We sell out quickly every year, so procrastinators be warned!
Interesting Vancouver is a celebration of “Interestingness” via a multi-disciplinary, creative, unexpected, and inspirational evening of ideas and locally-sourced knowledge sharing for and by Vancouverites without self promotion. Interesting Vancouver is for creative people from all walks of life, but requires an open mind. There is no theme, no organizing principle save for, “Things that are Interesting”, and the evening's aim is to impart new knowledge, things you’ve never known, or thought about, open up parallel thinking ports, and activate parts of your brain that for even the brainiest person may have been neglected or unexplored. There will be a degree of spontaneity, unexpected moments, and learnings woven into a splendid marriage between interesting ideas and passionate people. The audiences at Interesting Vancouver are as interesting as the speakers, made up of a mix of all ages, including artists, business professionals, entrepreneurs, consultants, public servants, educators, parents, and people from nearly every walk of life—all keen to engage in dialogue about interesting topics and go home smarter than when they arrived. Interesting Vancouver provides an extraordinary lack of career advancement opportunities. It only promises to be “Interesting", so don't come to swap business cards and self-promote.
***NEW for 2013*** We are pleased to offer 25 spots for a special pre-event Dinner with Speakers from 5-6PM! Additional cost of $25 for dinner with IV2013 speakers, co-hosts, and your opportunity to be a volunteer host for the evening's interestingness.
----------------------------- Meet the Speakers!

Stéphane Mouttet Stéphane will share his story about being reunited with his biological parents and his love for travel infused by having two families.
Yared Nigussa Yared will share his story about the risks of first impressions and how a person whom at first he didn’t like or trust played the most important role in his career and became a close friend.
