Screen-Shot-2013-10-01-at-9.38

Our good friends over at the Laboratory of Housing Alternatives (LOHA) have a fascinating thing going on the night of October 22nd: “Sharing is a hot topic these days. Think of the way companies like Car2Go, Airbnb, Grupon and Kickstarter are changing how we live, work, move and spend. Many elements of our life are being affected by the ‘sharing economy’ and housing is no exception. This evening event focuses on exposing how sharing can allow people to live more affordably while engaging with their community. A variety of speakers will give us their insights on how to establish thriving sharing communities in Vancouver.” Those speakers already include the awesome likes of Chris Diplock (Sharing Project), Eesmyal Santos-Brault (The Hive, Vancouver Design Nerds, Recollective), and Emmanuel Lavoie (BlueGreen Living Communitites, Refund), among others. RSVP here. Details after the jump…

Doors open: 6:30pm
Presentations: 7:00-8:30pm
