JOIN THE LEAGUE OF KICKASS BUSINESS PEOPLE AND
GET IN THE GAME: WHY GAMING ISN’T JUST FOR GAMERS ANYMORE

On Thursday, February 4, find out how gaming is revolutionizing your business and your world. You’ll learn how gaming trends are shaping everything from customer experiences to community building, leadership training to team collaboration, simplified interfaces to communicating complexities - and how gaming’s impact will accelerate in the next decade.

We’ll get the evening started with a panel discussion led by Vancouver’s gaming industry leaders (and with appetizers and beverages).  

We’re counting on you to get in the game… and keep it going by exchanging ideas and building relationships with heavy hitters in Vancouver’s business community. Plus, tweet your questions, trends and observations on our live Twitter wall before, during and after the presentation - #lokbp.
