    ProjectWorld*BusinessAnalystWorld Vancouver 2026

    Where: Sutton Place Hotel VancouverBy PMBA Conferences

    Conference · Project management$897 to $3,685Anu’s plan: Recommended. Nearest airport: YVR

    Anu’s takeThe conference site ships a customizable justification letter you can send your manager, which tells you exactly who this is built for. The advisory board says the rest: Translink, WorkSafe BC, BC Pension Corporation, BCIT, Lululemon, Intact. This is enterprise and public sector project work, where the horizon is a fiscal year and nothing gets attended without an approval chain. Not the crowd you… The rest is on its page.

    AIFree

    Anu’s takeIf you build product and you're trying to work out how AI fits with real governance, this one's worth your evening. When the data belongs to your clients, handing everyone a free chatbot was never an option, so seeing how a firm the size of PwC handles the controls should be useful well beyond legal work. Bring your awkward questions!

    Bean to Business

    Where: Level Ground Coffee RoastersBy UVic Entrepreneurship Club, Enactus UVic

    TourFree

    Anu’s takeWhat a cool behind-the-scenes tour. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a serious coffee fan. Brings back memories of when Salt Spring Coffee got started in 1996 in downtown Ganges, right beside me and at the exact same time as I was bringing the internet to the Gulf Islands. All of downtown was blanketed in the smell of roasted beans. Coffee, Internet, Innovation is my triangle.

    Workshop · Careers & learning · Security & privacyFree

    Anu’s takePhones and laptops stopped coming with manuals years ago, so think of this as the manual you never got, with real people to ask. I got my start in 1994 running a dial-up bulletin board on Salt Spring to get people connected, and at heart I'm still doing the same thing.
