VancouFur is Western Canada’s first furry convention. Held in beautiful Vancouver BC, the home of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, VancouFur is surrounded by some of the worlds most beautiful scenery. Vancouver prides itself on its city’s rich history and gorgeous scenery, as well as its fantastic shopping and tourist destinations.
VancouFur is in its first year as an official furry convention and is looking forward to creating an experience that will bring the furry world to western Canada. We also strive to educate as well as entertain in the fields of arts, crafts, culture and other aspects of the furry fandom.

HackVAN is the 2012 Vancouver-based edition of HackDays, the one-day API programming hackathon events that take place across Canada.
For one day, teams of 1 – 3 developers work on integrating with one or more of the sponsors APIs. Judges from the local tech community judge based on awesomeness and technical difficulty, and we award fantastic prizes including a MacBook Air, iPads, e-readers and more.
We’ll start with a mixer on Friday night so people can find development partners and meet everyone else, and then you have one day on Saturday to code your entire application. We’ll keep you fed and pour you a beer at the end of the day, and then the presentations and judging occur.
