Photo Walking Tour

Limited Capacity seats available

If you plan on getting to Victoria early and would like to take in our photogenic and historic city—we have a treat for you. We are planning a Thursday morning photo walk around the inner harbour and historic downtown Victoria.

The event will begin at the lower level lobby of the Victoria Conference Centre, in front of the Totem poles, at 10am and end back at the same spot at 12 noon, just in time for lunch. Look for the guy in the bright green hat.

Bring your camera, a good pair of walking shoes and a healthy does of curiousity. The tour is limited to 40 people on a first come first served basis.

Click the "Add to my Sched" button above to reserve your spot.

Be sure to post your photos to Instagram and tag them with #SMCamp.

#SMCamp Mixer

The Social Media Awards have been moved to later in the year for 2015, but don't think for a moment that'll make Friday night any less fun!

We are pleased to present the #SMCamp Mixer ... an opportunity to casually meet with old friends, new friends, and some of the speakers and sponsors involved with this year's event.

Admission is free for registered attendees of Social Media Camp (please bring your badge), but we've invited our charity partner to be on hand collecting donations (we recommend $10 per person).

There will be a cash bar open (note: dinner is not being served).

We will dim the lights, set the mood, have some subtle background music, and let you mix and mingle the night away.

Closeby, but not too close (and certainly less civilized), Paul Holmes will be hosting the karaoke room in Salon B at 8pm.

Now don't panic! If you are disinclined to partake of the karaoke madness, it's OK, we totally understand (well, at least Chris understands).

The room separator between Salon A and B will be closed, so you'll only be forced to hear karaoke if you wander over there accidentally, or start feeling a little adventurous...
