I'm here at the China Access 2008 Business Forum with Scales and MC of Raincity Studios and Richard Eriksson of Bryght. We're getting a whirlwind business tour of China including an overview of the economy, political climate, growth trends, geography and communications challenges. There are about 40 or so people here at the SFU Centre for Dialogue from Vancouver companies who are either already doing business in China or plan to, as well as a bunch of masters students from UBC Business School who are focusing on economic development in Asia and China.

So far it's been a great session led by Alan and Andrew of China Access 2008 and supported by lots of influential Vancouver business people currently doing business successful in China including Business Objects, CanFor, and Optima Health Solutions (hey Rashid... I'll trade ya a China strategy for Bryght for a web strategy for Optima!).

Raincity Studios Dresses Locally Head-To-Toe

Fashion High, along with the participation from many local fashion designers and boutiques, celebrated fashion design in Vancouver last night at the Glad Rags Party at the St. James Community Square in Kitsilano.

Not only was the venue a treat - church pews and a catwalk for an altar - there was a plethora of entertainment and stimuli for the taking.

Glencora Twigg of Twigg and Hottie was our stylish and lovely MC for the evening, as she guided us through the night of fashion shows, live jazz from Vancouver's Hot Club of Mars, record-spinnin with DJ Girl Cherise and plenty of raffle prize giveaways.

Over the course of the last month, there has been much activity, awareness and healthy debate generated from this successful, inspiring event. From sustainable design, to spirituality, to sustainability heros, ideas and creative contributions were flowing. Sarah Pullman played an integral role in developing and promoting the event, sparking numerous discussions in the collection of 30 Questions of Sustainability.
