#VTJTalks: The Year in Vancouver Tech — So Far
Presented in partnership with Global Public Affairs
We're halfway through 2025 — so what’s the story so far in Vancouver tech?
Join Vancouver Tech Journal and Global Public Affairs for a dynamic evening of insights, storytelling, and real talk as we unpack the most important developments of the year to date. From major funding rounds and standout acquisitions to surprising pivots and rising stars, we’re spotlighting the news, people, and forces driving Vancouver’s tech ecosystem forward.
Our speakers include:
Anne Hunger, Co-founder, Glüxkind Technologies ("Axios: This AI-powered stroller can drive itself")
Aaron Stuart, CEO, VANTEC Angel Network
David Weekes, Associate, Pangaea Ventures
William Johnson, Founder, Vancouver Tech Journal & VP, Strategy and Operations, Overstory Media
Expect candid perspectives from founders, funders, operators, and ecosystem builders as they reflect on:
What’s been working (and what hasn’t) so far this year
How global shifts in AI, capital, and talent are landing locally
What they’re excited (or concerned) about for Q3 and Q4
Who and what to watch next in Vancouver tech
