RainForest LWOL - Volvo Works

June 12th – Kimberly Wong of Volvo.works
Kimberly Wong is the co-founder/CEO of Volo Works, the online marketplace for local services (B2B and B2C). When she moved to Alberta, she wanted to start a piano teaching business, but she didn’t know anyone and couldn’t find a simple and affordable way to advertise her service to her new city, where she knew there was a demand because of the young demographic of the families around her. So she and her business partner, Justin Harwood, made a simple and affordable online platform just for local services! Available across Canada and one day to go global, Kimberly and Justin have started this platform in the Edmonton area, where it’s been growing steadily over the past few months. It is the new and upcoming go-to for services, especially those that serve businesses and tech companies. Kimberly is here to share her journey of this startup and the many hard lessons she’s learned along the way, as well as to share how Volo Works may benefit you!

Building his career from the streets, one passer-by at a time, Martin Kerr has been able to make a living as an independent musician for the last 10 years. Kerr is no stranger to taking his guitar, along with his busking amp, and setting up his CD store anywhere he could gather an audience. “To connect with people who left the house that morning not expecting to hear live music in the street, for a song to stop them in their tracks on their way get groceries or run to the bank, is a really special thing.” says Kerr. It has been these connections that have enabled him to build a fan base of loyal supporters who he refers to as more of a family.
Business in the front, pancakes in the back on Rice Howard Way!

This Event has been postponed to September 2019 Watch for new dates soon!
The Alberta Blockchain Consortium is a non profit corporation aimed at promoting and uniting the blockchain industry within our province. Our events are open to the public and all are welcome. We wish to educate and create an inclusive environment for networking, business development, and cross sector collaboration.
Our Edmonton meet ups are every last Thursday of the month. We provide food, wine, non alcoholic beverages and conversation about blockchain. We prefer to engage our speakers in an interview, panel, or debate instead of having presentations.
This month’s topic:
The rules for crypto companies in Canada are changing. Last year, changes to Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations were published. Once made final, these regulations will apply to “dealers in virtual currency” (including exchanges, brokerages, and BTM operators). Learn about what this will mean for Canadian businesses with the AML geeks from Outlier Compliance Group.
