Long Time, No See: VIATEC Rooftop Party

Description

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT! If you're a VIATEC Member and you'd like to be added to the waitlist, please proceed with registration.

Join your fellow Tectorians at this IRL celebration to reconnect, learn how to network again and enjoy food and drinks on a rooftop patio! Thanks to our Sponsors: Cindicates and The Roy Group!

No presentations, no agenda, no streaming, just a casual BBQ to celebrate human interaction again. 

You’ll get to:

• See your friends again
• Meet new friends
• Share future plans and seek input
• Eat BBQ (Veggie/Turkey/Beef)
• Drink the drinks
• Catch some rays (hopefully)
• Celebrate everyone’s hard work during the pandemic, and the return to a new normal.

Feeling a bit rusty?

• Potential greeting options: 
  • You could bow, wave, elbow tap, fist bump or awkwardly place your hands on your head. 
  • For the fully vaccinated: Handshake or hugs if you’re both willing!
    (Please be respectful and mindful of different comfort levels when interacting with one another)
    
    
• Conversation starters no one has thought of yet:
  • So, did you work from home too? 
  • Are you back in the office yet? 
  • How about this weather, eh? 
  • What vaccine combo did you get? 
  • How do you think historians will tell the story of the COVID-19 pandemic, our society’s reaction to it and how do you think it’s going to shape our future?

PLEASE NOTE: 

1. As per provincial guidelines, masks are recommended in indoor public settings for all people 12 and older who are not yet fully vaccinated. Please ensure you wear your mask while inside the Summit building, and to be respectful of everyone's comfort levels. 
2. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the entry and food station.
3. All guests will be required to fill out a symptoms check form 24 hours prior to the event.
