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.

Big Data & Analytics West Summit 2026
Where: JW Marriott Parq VancouverBy Strategy Institute
Conference · Data · AI$895 to $1,595Anu’s plan: Recommended. Nearest airport: YVR
Anu’s takeTwo full days on clean, trustworthy data, if that's your job. Their website lists two different Vancouver hotels for the venue, so check the address with them before you book. And a heads up: their logo still says sixth annual, but this is the seventh, so I took that line off the picture on this card.

ProductHub Victoria - Fall Event
Where: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PwCUnder 1 min walk.By ProductHub Victoria
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.

Digital Basics and Online Safety
Where: Greater Victoria Public Library - Central Branch2 min walk.By Victoria Literacy Connection, Digital Bridge Society
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.
