The opening session of the Vancouver Island iiE Gathering was in a “StorySlam” format and took place on Saturday, November 5th from 9:30am to 10:30am. Ten participants will shared their response to: “Tell us a time when you learned there was another world.”

The StorySlam is based on the popular MOTH StorySlam format (https://themoth.org/) and our very successful FailureSlam (http://iie.institute/failureslam/) at the last iiE Gathering in Ann Arbor, Michigan in June 2016.
