About this Event

We have a very special guest joining us on Tuesday, November 17, and this is one you'll want to have on your calendar!

Shahrzad Rafati, Founder & CEO of Rhei (formerly BBTV), will join us for a fireside chat with our President, Navid Morawej and Board member, Ally R. Potel.

Shahrzad founded BBTV right here in Vancouver and grew it into a global media and technology company reaching billions of monthly views. She's one of Canada's most influential entrepreneurs, a Member of the Order of British Columbia, and a leading voice on innovation, the creator economy and women in leadership.

She rarely makes appearances like this in Vancouver, so we're particularly excited to welcome her to our Club.

The conversation will go beyond her success story to explore what it takes to build a global business from Vancouver, the challenges and decisions behind that growth, and where she sees the future of media and technology heading.

A special thank you to Shamrock Storehouse, part of the IRL Group, for sponsoring this event and helping us bring exceptional speakers and conversations to our Club!

We'd also love your help bringing new faces into the room. If you know an entrepreneur, business leader or someone interested in media, technology or leadership, this is a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to the Club.

We look forward to seeing you there!
