Anderson Cooper Live in Vancouver: Cancelled
byEmmy Award-winning CNN anchor Anderson Cooper will be appearing in Vancouver for “A 360 Degree View of the World”, a live and unscripted engagement at the Vancouver Convention Centre on April 5th, 2012.
Anderson Cooper has become “the go to source” for reliable and up to the minute, unbiased views of current events and ground-breaking news. The veteran journalist famously keeps politicians and policy makers honest with in-depth reporting, illustrating broad ways of thinking. His modern approach whether it be through the use of social media or zoning in on relevant pop culture has helped engage a new generation to gain an interest in world affairs keeping viewers of all ages and backgrounds informed and aware of current news and social issues.
Tickets for the event are available online for $175 each and they include a pre-event reception with live music at 10:30am, a luncheon, and opening remarks from CTV’s Tamara Taggart. Anderson will be discussing his life, experiences while reporting for CNN, and HootSuite will host a Q&A session. During the Q&A Anderson will take audience questions and respond to some Twitter activity live. Working with Pacific Carbon Trust, this event will also be carbon neutral.
I have two tickets to give away to this one-of-a-kind opportunity. Here’s how you can enter to win:
- Leave a comment on this post (1 entry)
- Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
I will draw one winner at random from all entries next Friday, March 9, 2012 at 12:00pm. You can follow @CooperYVR (powered by HootSuite) for updates and information about Anderson Cooper’s time in Vancouver.
UPDATE: I would like to thank everyone for entering the contest however I will be unable to draw a winner as I received the following from the organizers today:
“On behalf of Leverage Worldwide, we regret to inform you that Anderson Cooper- A 360 Degree View of the World has had to be cancelled. We are disappointed and regret having to cancel this event which was scheduled for April 5th, 2012 at The Vancouver Convention Centre. Anyone who has already purchased tickets will receive a 100% refund and can do so by calling Northern Tickets at (604) 569-1144.”

I have read “Dispatches from the Edge” probably 50 times, as someone who volunteers in Evacuation Assistance I find the book to give words to some things that are difficult to convey. I would love the chance to attend this great conference!
