If there is one thing we know for sure, it’s that the #OKGNtech community knows how to have a good time! Our annual New Year Kick Off Party (NYKO) was all about creating valuable connections and memories with the brightest in the Okanagan tech community. NYKO welcomed everyone in tech. Entrepreneurs, technology enthusiasts, investors as well as supporters of #OKGNtech all gathered at BNA Co. & Eatery to celebrate the beginning of a new year, and a bright future for the Okanagan’s tech industry. Here is a look at some of the highlights.

Keeping it Fresh

A big thank you to Refresh Financial for buying #OKGNtech a couple rounds! The signature drinks were to-die-for and really helped us kick off the New Year with a bang. [Editor’s note: we’re blaming those French 75s’ for all that dance floor magic]

What a Good-looking Crew

Thank you to both Kimmit Wrzesniewski and the Law Office of S.Grynwajc for the next-level photo booth experience. Having The Collective You capture our community was such a thrill and we are looking forward to showcasing this collection of portraits over the coming year.

We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You

To all the sponsors and supporters of this annual event (we’re looking at you Canadian Securities Exchange, Farris, RBC, Strawhouse, Data Nerds, OSLER, Fresh grade, Two Hat, BlockAble, Deloitte, and Raymond James), thank you. We seriously appreciate your generosity and contribution to #OKGNtech.

 Thank You #OKGNtech for the Unforgettable Night. You Give Us All the Feels.

Lastly a huge thank you to the #OKGNtech community! Every member of the tech community plays an important role in ensuring our community continues to thrive. Our future has never looked brighter and we are excited about the year ahead.
