[VIDEO] Innovation Fair a crowdpleaser
VCH technophiles (and a few admitted technophobes) got their geek on at Vancouver’s Innovation Fair on February 28.
As a follow-up to Innovations in Health Care — Vancouver’s first All-Staff Forum of 2018 — the fair featured live demos and interactive displays of the latest and greatest innovations in use or coming soon to Vancouver.
Inspiring, informative and a whole lot of fun, Vancouver’s Innovation Fair sparked new ideas destined to be the innovations of tomorrow. Watch the video below to catch the action and spark ideas of your own:
