The last Vancouver FB Garage was in 2007. Given that there have been a lot of updates to FB including the introduction of social plugins and downloadable info and that the site now reaches more than 500M people worldwide, we thought it was time for another Garage.

Please come out for a deep dive into the Facebook Platform. Share ideas, find partners for your latest project, check out app demonstrations, seek technical support, or just socialize and network with people like you.

We have some great local speakers lined up, who know a thing or two about FB and building a successful business:
- Mike Vernal of Facebook in Palo Alto will kick things off
- Jason Bailey, who sold Super Rewards to AdKnowledge will talk about making money with your app.
- Russell Ovans from Backstage (now part of RealNetworks) will talk about virtual economy design.
- J.Joly from Dimerocker
- Parveen Kaler of Smartful Studios will discuss Facebook Connect and the Graph API for iOS


We are also looking for more local developers to demo and share their stories. Please message maura at bootup.ca if you are interested.
