Meet & Greets, Signings & More
If you’re familiar with the VeVe Collecting Community, you’ll know how big the In-Real-Life (IRL) meetups can be. The VeVeVancouver MeetUp I attended last year was simply EPIC, as these span digital AND physical to celebrate digital collecting journeys, friendships and fandoms.
For instance, VeVe community members @VeVeFamBam & @JGreenVeVe took it upon themselves to coordinate a Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Night, 9pm on Thu, 25 July at the Hazard Center as a fun way to share some DP3 excitement together. Turns out, VeVe agreed and decided to help by sponsoring the event! Team members including CEO David Yu & special guests will be there with those lucky enough to secure seats at this special screening. Incredibly Hulkish!!!
