While 2009 New Ventures BC competitor Mack Flavelle didn’t make it to this year’s Top 10, his entrepreneurial spirit is still burning bright and he’s heading up Innovation Camp in Vancouver in October. Innovation Camp is a workshop series designed to help entrepreneurs develop the skills that will let them succeed.

Why are ideas like measles, waffles and mirrors? Why do successful people generally fail more often than less successful ones?

At Vancouver Innovation Camp, you’ll discover how answers to these questions are related to learning entrepreneurship and innovation skills.

EXPERIENCE: Participants learn by doing – practicing techniques to generate new ideas and expanding upon those ideas in order to accomplish a shared goal such as creating a product or completing a project/challenge. There are no lectures, just engaging activities that facilitate learning and growth.

According to Flavelle, the workshop is for people who are excited by creativity, community, entrepreneurship, opportunity, risk, the future and of course, innovation. People who want to push the envelope, expand their horizons, see new things, do new things and create new things.  These are the people who make dinner parties interesting, make coffee dates worth showing up for and who attend events like Vancouver Innovation Camp.
