Inspired by the success of other Vancouver-based user groups focused on technical development and web-based experiences such as VanJS, netBC, and the Vancouver User Experience Group, the Vancouver Community Experience Group represents Vancouver-based online community developers, managers, and designers. Do you own, operate or participate in the management of an online community or social network? Join VanCX and share your experiences with the rest of us!

The group’s first meetup is currently been planned, but is no date or venue has scheduled as of yet. If you have a venue or location that might be suitable for our first meetup, please contact Nick Bouton at Taunt Media and we’ll do our best to get something organized with your help.

We’re looking forward to helping other online communities get started here in Vancouver — please join us if you’re interested in community development!

The event is centred around the future of mobile technology and the influence of the social web and community building in the development of upcoming mobile devices. Nick was very pleased to be contacted by WOMWorld with respect to attending the workshop back in August, due to his experience with community building and social media-based applications. He’s is looking forward to attending and meeting other mobile technology and social media afficionados from around the globe.

More information about the event is available over at Nick’s personal blog, and Nick will be blogging (and Twittering) about his experiences at the Open Lab and around Helsinki later this week.
