BIL Vancouver v4.0 is upon us and with it comes a weekend of exchange of opinions, community connecting, dancefloor filling and food eating fun.

For those new to our scene, here’s a bit about why BIL exists: Vancouver is a community driven metropolis and the artists, innovators, movers and especially the shakers, power it’s beating heart. BIL events are powered the same way, being entirely participant driven and volunteer run. In these volatile times, it’s important to get out there, engage with your neighbours and talk about (even celebrate) the future.

This year, BIL has a weekend filled with talks, parties, performances, breakouts and other activities, sure to inspire cross-pollination.
