A group of social media enthusiasts have established Social Media House in Vancouver and for one night business people, marketers and Hockey Fans will be meeting on Thursday to watch Canada’s Mens team in preliminary action against Switzerland. The organizers say this an opportunity for those who connect online to come together offline and share a common interest — in this case Hockey (and beer for some)!
One of the event organizers, Shane Gibson, said: “We have booked out the Caprice for Canada vs. Switzerland and are inviting the world to come meet Vancouver’s social media community and watch Canada (and Switzerland) go for the gold. For one night Vancouver will have its own Social Media House to celebrate the Olympics.”
The Caprice has just undergone major renovations and has huge screens with wall to wall sound. This free event gets underway at game start time 4:30pm and at 8:00 pm a special secret guest will show up (hint: a well-known social media expert).
