Build genuine connections at VIBE in VictoriaVIBE, the Vancouver Island Business Experience, brings investors, tech innovators and established businesses together in Victoria on Tuesday November 17, 2026. The one-day gathering is designed to help people build genuine connections through highly interactive activations throughout the day, with time to discover common ground and explore what they could build together.
Relationships are central to the experience. The activations are designed to give participants a reason to engage with one another, contribute their perspectives and learn through shared participation. The aim is to create conversations that develop into relationships beyond the event, whether that means a future collaboration, an investment conversation or someone to turn to for advice.
VIBE connects capital from around the world with Vancouver Island businesses. Established, hands-on operators bring practical experience and an understanding of the challenges involved in running a business. Tech innovators bring new ideas and approaches. Investors bring another perspective on where capital and expertise could help those businesses grow.
Bringing these groups together creates opportunities to learn across industries. The event’s areas of focus include construction and property; energy, natural resources and ocean technology; health sciences; and AI and software. The interactive format is intended to help participants find useful connections across those areas, as well as within their own field.
For Chamber members, the opportunity is to spend a day getting to know people whose experience, ideas or interests could complement their own. A useful relationship can begin with understanding what someone is working on, where they need help and what each person can contribute. VIBE is designed to make space for those exchanges throughout the day.
Chamber members receive an exclusive 40% discount on their ticket. Participation is by application, and the discount is available only to Chamber members after their application has been approved.
