With all respect to the OP, I feel it's mandatory to offer a cautionary note to anyone looking at hosting or attending a gathering like this. In the days of yore, there were several gatherings, both in Vancouver and other cities, even a group of BC guys who became pretty close, hosting dinners, poker nights and other activities. It fell apart and there were some issues of doxxing and other drama. If you have a spouse, a career that could not survive revelations of involvement with this business as a client, I would strongly suggest you stay away.
The OP has been on the board less than 6 months and does not have a long track record of posts/reviews. Take that as you will. Personally I wish everyone well, but PERB will not endorse or support these and any attempts to commercialize this requiring becoming a paid advertiser.
