Join us for informal networking, meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to build relationships with people from across Metro Vancouver's business community. We simply ask attendees to support our host venue by purchasing a beverage. A Happy Hour menu is also available.
The Vancouver Board Meeting is hosted by the World Referral Network (WRN), a business community focused on building authentic relationships, referrals, and collaboration opportunities.
Unlike traditional business networking events, there are no keynote speakers, no formal agenda, and no membership presentations. Instead, attendees are encouraged to enjoy casual conversations, build relationships, exchange ideas, and connect with other professionals from across Metro Vancouver.
I help host the Vancouver Board Meeting where authentic business relationships can develop naturally. While social media and digital communication remain important tools for business development, many entrepreneurs continue to find value in face-to-face conversations and community-based networking.
Professionals who generally attend include:
• Local business owners
• Realtors and mortgage professionals
• Financial and insurance advisors
• Trades and service providers
• Restaurant and hospitality operators
• Consultants and coaches
• Entrepreneurs and startup founders
• Community-minded professionals looking to expand their local network
The event also supports the continued growth of Vancouver City News, a local digital publication focused on business, community issues, economic development, and stories that matter to residents.
Attendees are encouraged to bring business cards, make introductions, and enjoy an afternoon of relaxed conversation in a welcoming setting.
Interested in attending? Please register HERE in advance, as space may be limited depending on turnout.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who values relationships, referrals, community connections, and conversations that go beyond exchanging business cards.
Whether you're looking to meet fellow entrepreneurs, generate referrals, build partnerships, or simply reconnect with the local business community, the Vancouver Board Meeting offers a refreshing alternative to traditional networking events.
