Showpass

Throwing it back to InterGen's Wine Wednesday, where we uncorked the Showpass story! 🍷 Lucas and Paul shared their journey, and we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd to keep the ideas (and the wine) flowing!

Today, we take a step back to honour the stories and experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, recognizing the profound impact of colonialism and the historical injustices that have shaped their lives. This day serves as a reminder for reflection, learning, and, most importantly, listening. It is essential to acknowledge that this day is not merely a singular event but a commitment to ongoing understanding and support for Indigenous communities. As we pause to hear these voices, we want to share some of the resources and individuals that are helping to shape our understanding, not just today but every day. From impactful books and thought-provoking podcasts to Indigenous-owned businesses and vital organizations, here are some resources to pay attention to. 🎙️ Podcasts All My Relations The Red Nation Missing & Murdered This Land 📝 Free Courses Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education (The University of British Columbia) Indigenous Canada (University of Alberta) Aboriginal Worldviews and Education (University of Toronto) 📚 Books Beyond the Orange Shirt Story Overcome Seven Fallen Feathers 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act Dancing On Our Turtle’s Back 5 Little Indians 🛍️ Indigenous-Owned Businesses Mother Earth Essentials Spirit Bear Coffee Company ccab.com shopfirstnations.com indigenoustourism.ca 🎥 Movies & Documentaries We Were Children Indian Horse Our People Will Be Healed 🤝 Organizations First Nations Development Institute National Indigenous Women's Resource Center The Orange Shirt Society Indspire

As a leader, it's a gap of mine to take a moment to celebrate the wins. Today we got to announce that we were one of Canada's fastest growing companies (and North America's). Again. It's a proud moment. An incredible amount of discipline, resiliency, and innovation led us here. We're unique. Where most folks in our revenue and growth category have raised $50-$500M, we have no VC's or institutions, it's truly an incredible accomplishment. I am so grateful for those supporters, staff, family members, and clients who I have had the luxury of building a business beside. Showpass Everyone knows my goal is to be inspired when I come to work everyday. There's no doubt today is one of those days.

Turns out music data insights are more than just discovering Mariah Carey on my Spotify Wrapped... Data enables us to truly understand our audiences, predict trends, and make informed decisions—moving beyond gut feelings and minimizing risks. At Showpass›, we're enhancing our data forecasting capabilities to deliver greater value for event organizers. This week, I had the privilege of moderating the "Using Data to Sell Tickets: Amplify Your Events Through New Tech" panel at the Music Pro Summit, organized by Indie Week. Thank you Rachel Li from Jamalytics and Oleg Pylypenko from ticketsell for your insights on practical approaches for harnessing data to help event decision-making, promotions, and ticket sales  🎟

Rain may have changed our plans, but it didn’t stop the fun! 🌧️☀️ What was meant to be a picnic in the park turned into an awesome indoor hangout at the Showpass #office. We kept the picnic vibes alive with coolers of drinks, lawn games and added some friendly competition over board games. 🎲 Ordering food from Red Rock Pizza made it a perfect night of #TeamBonding and good times. 🍕
