After hearing this question one too many times, it is time to zoom into a small, yet buzzing spot on this planet, the city of Vancouver, Canada!

Interesting spots on the maps …

and there is more …

Those that know the ALM Rangers know that community and collaboration is part of our DNA, which is why I am excited about these two Vancouver initiatives:

  • Foundry Vancouver as mentioned in Microsoft to create new Excellence Centre in Vancouver brings together teams across Microsoft to work with students to work on awesome solutions.
  • Vancouver Innovation Labs has been hosted by Envisioning Labs since September 2013. It is an open platform for anybody interested in discussing and learning about new technological trends and their potential application in business, society and the environment. The group has attracted an eclectic mix of technologists, sociologists, researchers, designers and overall innovation enthusiasts. Envisioning Labs partnered with Microsoft in 2014 where meetings are now held at the Vancouver Development Center.
    You can enjoy the more visual Envisioning Labs Annual Review 2014 video.
