The first Urban Culture Conference to Vancouver, British was held in 2011. The inaugural event featured vendors, public speaking seminars, and a main stage with over 30 musical performers. Throughout the event, attendees were able to vote for the "Best in Vancouver" awards, and crown winners in categories like best local beer, best tattoo shop and many others.

Great news coming from the conference frontlines…

  • May 30, 2011
This is officially the 3rd installment of the ‘conference frontlines’ update. We feel it is important to keep you in the loop on a regular basis, leading into the 1st annual Urban Culture Conference + Awards taking place at the Plaza of Nations from August 27-28. So much happens each week behind the scenes, it’s incredible how many emails we receive with feedback and comments. We have some big announcements this week, read below.

Tickets

Our BIGGEST announcement is about ticket prices…we have some great news! Our ticket prices are getting greatly reduced, thanks to a strategic shift in sponsorship. We will be partnering with a corporate sponsor who will have a heavy brand/marketing presence at the conference in exchange for covering a large portion of the event and production costs. We feel it is necessary to pass the savings on to the attendees to ensure the venue is at capacity and all of the businesses who have vendor booths make the biggest impact possible for their brand.

The tickets were going to go up in Price on June 1st, but now, we will be lowering the prices to the following:

General Admission:

$30/day   $40/weekend

VIP Pass:

$50/day   $65/weekend

Yep, that’s over 50% cheaper than it was prior to June 1st! Buy Tickets Here.

Entertainment

We just released the 2.0 version of our conference entertainment page, which now shows the artists biography and artist photos. We have been adding new artists each week and will continue to add a few more headlining acts in the upcoming weeks.


Understanding which artist is playing at set times is important to deciding the day(s) you will attend. In the 3.0 version of the performance page there will be a time-line of the artists and which area of the conference grounds to see them. All of the bands will be on the main stage, but we also have B Boy Hip Hop dance battles, Parkour Demonstrations, and a Skateboarding competition. Currently we have Invoke Media confirmed to speak about Social Media, Hootsuite, and Blogging, but there will be other seminars on topics from Music and Video Production, to Music Industry Business, Art, Sports, and more. All of this is based on your feedback and what you want to see from the conference so do not hesitate to contact us if you have a band who you would like to see perform or a speaker you would like to hear.

Each night of the conference there will be a spectacular final closing performance, and you will not want to miss either of them. We will release details on these performances very soon.

Contests

Last week we ran a contest for 2 free general access tickets for the best ‘social street eats picture‘ that was uploaded to our Facebook page. The winner was Sean Neild with a Halibut Taco from Feastro the Rolling Bistro. Congratulations on the win and we look forward to hosting you during conference weekend!

Giveaways

We will be giving away a number of tickets to the conference using Clubezone.com and our local Blog partners. Stay tuned on how to take part in these giveaways by either following us on Twitter or liking us on Facebook. Don’t worry, we won’t do too many status updates and spam out your time-line with junk, that’s not how we roll.

Urban Potion Vol III

We will soon release the third mixtape in the Urban Potion series, this one featuring a handful of Indie Rock tracks, from some of Vancouver’s finest artists. Bands: We are still accepting submissions, please send them to [email protected].

My notes: In the summer of 2011, this was one of the coolest events to attend if you lived in Vancouver. I'm from NYC but happened to be was visiting friends. Well it wasn't happen chance actually. I had been planning my trip west as soon as the Urban Culture Conference was announced. One of the sponsors of the event was MoonAtMidnight, the cool online retailer that sells Batman apparel - I'm sure you can locate a great Batman t shirt on their site - first find your favorite Batman image among their humongous collection of t shirts. Whether you're looking for the Dark Knight himself or the famous villains he defeats, you're very likely to find it there. Note that they also carry very cool Batman sweatshirts and hoodies. I mention them because I happened to win a fantastic Batman t shirt from the first night's sweepstakes! Anyway, aside from the great bands that preformed, I especially liked the skateboarding competition where the best local skaters went head to head for prizes and watching the Famous Circle dance crew who hosted a break-dancing (B-Boy) battle and demonstration. DJ Flipout from The Beat 94.5 were spinning tunes during the "battles". SO cool. There was also a Parkour demonstration and education booth. Totally awesome. The 30+ bands that played on the main stage, which featured a light show, a SERIOUS sound system, visual graphics, and a massive screen streaming live Tweets from the audience, blew my mind. All in all, this was one great vacation. Thank you Vancouver, You rock.

Recent changes and announcements from the conference frontlines

  • May 23

Well, it has almost been a month since we first launched the Urban Culture Conference + Awards website and voting system. What an amazing turnout so far; over 70,000 votes made, tickets selling fast, vendor booths 50% booked, and we are looking at increasing the size of the space for the conference grounds.

We could not have asked for better feedback from the community- we receive many poll requests, and we have done a great job adding poll nominations in a timely fashion. In addition, we have received many email submissions asking us to provide website links beside each poll nominee to add context, so we have started to roll that out on all of the polls. Now when you go to vote, you can click ‘visit site’ to check out the website of the business or person before voting. We expect this process to be finished by June 1st.

Entertainment

We are getting close to finalizing our entertainment lineup for the conference weekend. We currently have 30 bands confirmed and are looking to add a few more acts from some genres which do not currently have a large presence in the lineup. Specifically, more DJs from the Dubstep or House genre, as well as some popular rock bands. Once this has been confirmed we will send out an announcement with the itinerary of entertainment for the weekend, this band plays at 1PM on Saturday August 27th, etc etc. This will ensure you can setup a schedule for enjoying your favorite bands during the conference. We will also be adding seminars from local leaders speaking on topics such as Blogging, Social Media, Music Production, and Photography. The Vancouver Skateboard Coalition and the Parkour Community of BC will be on location doing demonstrations and answering questions.

There will be live art displays, tattoo demos, photography displays, and tons of local business vendors having mini contests and doing giveaways.

Tickets

Tickets are currently on sale here and they go up in price on June 1st by $15 so be sure to get them at a reduced rate. If you are a well connected person in the city and have a lot of friends who would be interested in attending the Urban Culture Conference + Awards, there is an opportunity to make some quick easy bucks. Sign up for our affiliate program and you will earn 15% of the tickets that you sell. It’s an easy process and done completely online. Simply signing up and placing a link to buy tickets on your facebook page and blog could drive sales, which means quick, easy money for you!

Business

If you would like to get involved with the Urban Culture Conference weekend from a vendor booth or sponsorship opportunity, download our PDF and give it a read over to learn about our target demographics and what you can expect on the ground during conference weekend. Vendor booths are based on size and location, so for example you would pay more for a booth closer to the stage, as this location will generate a higher level of foot-traffic. Vendor booths will have access to water, electricity, tables, and disposal areas. You can bring your own tables and booth setups if you would prefer. We make sure to discuss all opportunities with every vendor, and to encourage the use of games and contests to drive consumer interest.

Awards

The online voting system on the conference homepage has received over 70,000+ votes in the first 4 weeks of the website being live. It has been a huge success and we want to thank everyone for contributing their time to vote. Many of you also submit nominations and feedback which we truly love to see. It’s important to us to clearly represent local Urban Culture, and that takes community feedback. On June 1st we will be trimming down the polls and removing nominees with far less votes compared to everyone else in the poll. For example, the photographer who is winning the ‘Best Photographer in Vancouver’ poll and has 800 votes. From 1st to 10th place the voting is pretty close, but there are some people who only have 15 votes. Those people will be removed. Anyone with a chance of winning will stay in the running.

We will still take nominations for the month of June but we will check very closely to ensure the support is there for the business or person to justify their late addition to the polls. As of July 15th 2011 we will lock down all of the polls and no more changes will be made. The Urban Culture Conference + Awards takes place from August 27th to 28th 2011 at the Plaza of Nations. There will be a formal awards ceremony for all of the winners, prizes will be given out, and the media will interview each winner. There is a fantastic opportunity here for local businesses to get noticed, so do not hesitate to reach out and contact us if you want to get on the polls for voting.

Mixtape

We have already released 2 mixtapes from the Urban Potion Mixtape series. We are currently seeking submissions from local rock, metal, and punk bands for Urban Potion volume 3. If you know any bands looking for free promotion, if you are a band manager, or if you play in a band yourself, use the contact form to send us some music and you may find it being used on the next mixtape release. We hope to build the Urban Potion Mixtape series into an ongoing year round celebration of local musicians.

You

The Urban Culture Conference + Awards is not only a celebration of local art, music, culture, food, and beer. It is highly dynamic and constantly changing based on feedback from people like you. With the collective mind of the entire community of Greater Vancouver, we can create a truly awesome platform to drive business, meet and network with people, and generally have an amazing time during the conference weekend. If you feel we are missing a poll, a rock band on the entertainment lineup, or if you have any general feedback or questions. We want to hear about it. Contact us as time permits.

We look forward to having you out on conference weekend. From all of us at the Urban Culture Conference + Awards, thank you!

Interview with North by East West Blog

  • May 20

Below is an interview that we recently did with Jenn Ashton of North by East West Blog. We answered a lot of the questions that people are having regarding the Urban Culture Conference + Awards. It is taken word from word on their website. If you have any further questions let us know in the comments section below and we will be sure to address them.

_____________________________________

So what do you do when Canada’s party hungry city is ready to rock? We’ve celebrated the Olympics, we’ve celebrated the 1st anniversary of the Olympics, we have hockey playoffs going on, we have Vancouver’s 125th coming up, – but then what, thumb twiddling while we await the holiday season? I think not.

Jesse Chase and Adrian Eden have an idea; why not celebrate the people, places and ideas that have helped Vancouver evolve into ‘VanCity’, one of the coolest places to be?

I caught up with Jesse, to find out just how he and his partner came up with this idea, and how the ride has been so far.

Urban Culture Conference & Awards: Jesse Chase (Director of Digital Media & Design)

Before we get into the Conference stuff, can you tell me about your backgrounds – are you promoters?

Sure! I own and operate a web design agency called Vitamin J Design and my partner Adrian Eden owns and operates a SEO agency called Yaletown SEO. I have been creating websites for the music industry, and specialize in big, bold creative styles. Adrian is an SEO ninja, knowing the deep, dark secrets of Search Engine Optimization. He is known for taking a domain to the top of Google Search results overnight. Literally! Professionally, we both offer social media services, and know how to utilize social media to create buzz on an agency level. That said, we handle our design, development, social strategy, and marketing completely in-house.

So no, we are not promoters or event-planners; we are entrepreneurs with a need satisfy a citywide hunger for an event of this stature and due in part to our entrepreneurial backgrounds, we feel that we have the tools required to start any successful business. We have brought brand.LIVE on board and they are supporting us from a logistical standpoint. They ensure that the event is executed smoothly, professionally, and timely. Things such as event permits, insurance, tenting, fencing, security, beer garden, etc are handled by brand.LIVE. brand.LIVE brings the event-planning side of things to the table, while we work on the high-level concepts, marketing, promotion, and artist management.

How did you initially come up with the UCC idea – did you see some sort of need or?

The 2011 Urban Culture Conference + Awards was inspired by the talented athletes, artists, and musicians that live in Vancouver, BC. This city is busting at the seams with talent and opportunity, and there is no good outlet for them to showcase this. We feel that the mainstream has not nearly recognized all of the talent that our city has to offer, so we wanted to create an event to give the artists exposure to both the media and to the people of Vancouver.

In addition, we felt that there are so many businesses that need to be recognized for their tasty fare or their hip clothing, or their fresh roasted coffee and locally brewed beer. There are currently other “best of Vancouver” competitions, but a panel typically chooses the winners. That’s not fair! Why not let the people of the city contribute their opinion! So the Awards show was born. We created the voting system on our website to let every person vote on who they truly think is the best of Vancouver. From craft beers, to local magazines, to social media agencies, we have got Vancouver covered in every category. And we owe that to the public for emailing us hundreds of emails each day, requesting we add more and more talented people to the list of nominations. We owe so much to the people of Vancouver for helping us round out the voting system, and accurately depicting what THE PEOPLE’S favorites truly are. In just two weeks, we have received over 75,000 votes!

Are you surprised by how the UCC has taken off – from what I have seen it seems to have evolved into something huge, is it still manageable?

At first we were beyond surprised. We woke up to see thousands of hits on our site! But after much thought, it made complete sense. Not only are we trying to organize a really fun summer event with over 50 of Vancouver’s favorite artists, but also we are trying to recognize the talent and culture that Vancouver has to offer. All of the hip underground shops, unfound food carts, and local athletes and musicians should be put in the spotlight, and we hope that the awards aspect of the conference does just that.

Our goal was to create an online voting system that allows the people to vote on their favorites so we can accurately depict the best of Vancouver. Sure, some businesses have way more social promotion power than others, which lends a hand to their voting success, but this day in age, we believe that it is a distinct advantage to capitalize on social media…and if you own a business and do not actively promote your brand through social media, it’s time to jump on it!

What are your long-term goals, do you see this as a template for an event that can happen in any city?

Our long-term goals are to build upon the Urban Culture Conference and make it bigger and better each year. We want to create a weekend every single summer in downtown Vancouver that showcases our beautiful city’s talent, and provides an awesome time for everyone attending. Just a peak at this years goals: Two days full of great music, dance performances, skate competitions, and speaking seminars, followed by an evening of light shows, loud music, and one giant party. We will have a beer garden, vendors throwing their own fun competitions, and local street food served from their food carts. Our goal is to create an experience for Vancouver to look forward to year after year.

Have you guys learned anything huge so far?

Yes, three major things:

- The Power of social media is immense, assuming you can achieve the “human effect”

- You must always be realistic…being able to differentiate dreams from pipe dreams is very important

- Welcoming feedback and input from the community is a really great idea and all businesses should openly welcome feedback in order to evolve their offering

Do you feel Vancouver is more receptive to something of this sort in the wake of our successful ‘party’ Olympics?

We think Vancouver is chomping at the bit for an event like this. Again, there is no such thing that showcases all aspects of urban culture in a conference/festival format. The combination of music, performances, and recognition of LOCAL talent is a recipe for a great time. We have received so much support from local businesses, artists, and the people of Vancouver. This constant feedback is a testament to the need for an event of this stature.

Vote for me!

About the voting process you spoke about earlier – I have read a few notes on FaceBook where people are talking about the fact that it seems everything has to be ‘voted on’ to be the ‘best’ etc. and that the voting process itself is degrading artists, can I get your thoughts on that?

The voting process on the website is partly used to discover new bands who have an underground following, and might not yet be considered “mainstream”. It is also used to get an idea of what the local population thinks are the best bands, which helps these bands get publicity and perhaps bookings. If a band is not getting any votes or much less then they thought they would, that might mean they have to create more music or perhaps actively promote their involvement in the UCC+A. If we were to set up the voting system in a “traditional” format, then there would be a panel internally deciding what the “best of Vancouver is.” That is the exact idea that we are trying to get away from – we wanted a voting system that allows the community to vote, and see the results in real-time, while also limiting the number of votes (one per person, per poll).

As far as (degrading them), I do not think that is the case. Many of the artists and musicians on the polls are very talented; they may just not have a good idea of how to promote themselves online, across various social media channels. There has been a huge movement in grassroots promotion within the music industry, thanks to the invaluable tools that social media provides us. Our marketing approach heavily utilizes social media to gain exposure and publicity, so we expect the bands and businesses involved to do the same. This day in age, a strong online presence is expected, and taking advantage of marketing opportunities like the UCC+A is to us, a no-brainer.

Thanks Jesse and party on Vancouver!

  • Interview

We just want to take this time to thank everyone at Evolution Radio 107.9 for inviting us in today to discuss the Urban Culture Conference on the air with your listeners. We got a tour of the studio and saw a ton of behind the scenes voice overs, creative writing, commercial creation, sound effects, and tons more. All of the professors were very nice and easy to speak with. The atmosphere was that of a lot of support and freedom to express yourself, which was nice. One of the walls in the studio was covered with stickers from bands and radio stations. They even had us in to help with commercial creation doing some voice overs. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to hosting BCIT on location during the Urban Culture Conference. They will have a booth and be there to meet with the community and introduce them to career and educational opportunities.
