Authors, artists, a violinist, chocolatiers, housing activists, a two story tall mech suit(!), and so much more - this edition pulls no punches

Unless otherwise noted, quotes pulled from from Cause+Affect’s PechaKucha press release

PechaKucha, “a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each,” which Vancouver’s branding and design agency Cause+Affect have taken to celebrate Vancouver’s movers n’ shakers (see why VANDOC is interested in this?), held their 30th incarnation at the Vogue in November.

Our photog Jon Vincent was there to capture the action. Read more about these outstanding individuals, and check out the vids, which Cause + Affect have uploaded to their Vimeo page.
