More than 75 leaders from Vancouver’s marketing and media communities turned out for the invite-only Hyper Island Playground event at Domain7 in Vancouver’s Railtown neighbourhood. The evening began with a networking reception, which switched gears into sessions of interactive games, such as “What does the future look like?” where groups of five collaborated by scribbling answers on Post-it notes.
The Hyper Island manifesto is: Learn for Life; Real World Ready; Lead the Change; Seize your Potential; Team is Everything; and Change the World. Hyper Island’s Playground series is a collection of experiential gatherings designed to bring together creative minds and thought leaders. The focus is to support companies to build innovative business cultures that ensure future success. Attendees come from different organizations in the communication industries to exchange new ideas and insights the Hyper Island Way.
