Ticket Pricing: 

For this event we have made a “pay what you want” model.

We have elected to add three ticket prices for our events: for each of our general admission and ‘Founder’ tickets, we will add a “virtual discount” of roughly 50% that you can select to recognize the shortcomings of a virtual rather than in-person event. We have created a zero-cost ticket for those who wish to rely on the support of their community. And we will maintain our existing ticket prices for those who wish to fully support our not-for-profit. Learn more.

This event is being delivered by New Ventures BC.
