TBEX's social butterflies have been fluttering loudly...

Your poor, poor feet.

By now, you've probably scoured the TBEX site for any and all TBEX Vancouver-related schedules. The calendar is probably memorized. The tours are lined-up, ready for you to knock them down. You know who you want to speak and collaborate with, and you're ready to chase them through the halls. You've explored Vancouver and made it your you-know-what.

Relax. Your feet are telling you to relax. Frankly, your head is too. So. Much. Blogging.

Fret not, weary traveler. Below is a compiled of TBEX's social events, official and otherwise. There's plenty of time to give your old dogs and noggin a rest while you shoot the breeze, exchange business cards and imbibe with your fellow travelers. Who knows, maybe some great tweets or blog posts will come out of it? If you can remember, that is.

Official Sponsored TBEX Events:

[Update]: Only the Kickoff Party at 8 pm is full 600+ capacity, but open to all registered attendees. Others are filled up to capacity. But there are tons of side tweetups, etc., plus Donnelly Group is giving out VIP passes to its many pubs & clubs around Vancouver (can be picked up at kickoff tonight). Spread out, have fun, see you around the city!
