Presentation description Title: “The Hive: A 10-Storey Timber Braced Frame with Seismic Dampers” Description: "The Hive is a 10-Storey timber office building in Vancouver, British Columbia. The structural lateral system comprises timber braced frames around the perimeter and four internal CLT shearwalls. Both the shearwalls and the braces frames are coupled with Tectonus seismic dampers, to dissipate energy during a seismic event. The project design was completed using non-linear time history analysis, and a robust peer review process. The building is currently regarded as one of the most seismically advanced timber structures in the world. Its pioneering approach of a central pin rocking shearwall concept, coupled with self-centring Tectonus dampers at each end, allows the building to be self-centring with no damage to the compression toe, a strong alternative to post-tensioned rocking shearwalls. The project is currently in construction with completion slated for late 2025. The superstructure is completed. The presentation will focus on the design and rationale of the seismic system, the structural testing of gravity connections for drift comparability, and the many lessons learned. Construction and fabrication highlights will also be shared, with a focus on tolerances. Speaker - Robert Jackson Robert Jackson is a Partner and structural engineer at Fast + Epp, based out of Vancouver. He is recognized for his creativity, collaborative approach, and pioneering work in mass timber hybrid structures. Over his career, Robert has become an industry leader in mass timber construction and has led many of Fast + Epp’s most notable and ambitious projects, including the TallWood House at Brock Commons, Limberlost Place, The Hive, and the PNE Amphitheater. Robert has received several awards for his contributions to the profession, including the IStructE Young Structural Engineering Professional Award, SEABC Young Member Meritorious Achievement Award, and was recently named Top 40 Under 40 in Canadian Construction. He is a frequent lecturer, and a contributing author on several publications relating to timber research and development and is passionate about sharing his knowledge and lessons learned with the design community.

Each of our events has 2 unique business topics which are covered in roundtable discussions with other entrepreneurs. (We have new topics every month!) This isn’t your typical “pitch everyone and throw around business cards” event. Not even close! Everything within our events (and our entire Exmerce network) is focused on creating Win/Win outcomes for the business owners involved. You really need to experience it to fully feel the difference! Who Should Attend This Event?

Our events are extremely efficient and provide multiple opportunities to move your business forward more successfully. We trust that if you join us once – you will definitely be back!

We request all event attendees to be business owners.

Welcome to The Power of Nothingness event! Come join us at the Canadian Mindfulness Research Center in Calgary, AB, Canada for a transformative experience. Discover the benefits of stillness and mindfulness in a world full of distractions. Learn how embracing nothingness can lead to clarity, peace, and self-discovery . This in-person event will feature meditation sessions, workshops, and discussions to help you tap into the power of being present in the moment . Don't miss out on this opportunity to unplug and recharge in a supportive and mindful community . Reserve your spot today! Discover the power of nothingness and learn how to find peace and clarity in your daily life. This event will feature mindfulness activities, meditation sessions , and inspiring talks from experts in the field. Don't miss this opportunity to relax , recharge , and connect with like-minded individuals. Let's embrace the calmness within us and unleash The Power Of Nothingness together! Mind is a CHATTERING & WANDERING box. Chattering means collection of useless thoughts which comes through mind. If you are busy in chattering, your whole energy goes on thinking & end up into dissipating of energy because your mind is full of thoughts just like a clouded sky & you cannot see the sky clearly with cloud because it covers up. Every thought needs energy & if you are wasting your energy for thinking then how you can you create few powerful focus thoughts which comes from emptiness. The whole purpose of meditation practice is to create emptiness, hollowness etc . The right meaning of meditation is sitting and doing nothing but witnessing of all thoughts whatsoever thoughts are coming into this moment. Never try to stop the thoughts but let it come and let it go, we have to witness of it and while witnessing, there is an emptiness of thoughts happen as a result of thoughtless awareness means there is neither positive nor negative thoughts. All thoughts are dissolved. There is a space or gap happens inside as a result of vacuum formation in which we release old thoughts energy and pull the fresh thoughts energy from the Universe and it is in autopilot and continuous process which put us in meditative space. We need to alert, aware, and wakeful of whatsoever we are doing. Do not sleep but wake up every moment. Most of the people live with hate, jealousy, anger, fear, greed, craving etc. and full with it so how can they attract positivity, love, and courage? They cannot, therefore, first of all they have to release it and then they can attract positive emotion by creating a vacuum formation inside. Get rid of all clinging, attachment, and desires and then you can find the grace of God or higher power because you are empty from inside. Can you add water in full cup? You cannot, first of all you have to empty it and then you can add water. It also happens when we go to nature and there is recharging of battery takes place in which old energy is getting released and pulling the fresh energy. It happens commonly with us in day to day life also when we are holding old thoughts energy and not releasing it therefore we are not attracting the right people, right friends, and right things around us and moreover we are giving power, attention, and energy to old thoughts, so first of all we need to release old thought energy and create a vacuum formation inside us by creating a space in order to attract fresh energy. Thoughts of Discovery When we create a nothingness inside, a powerful and wonderful thoughts pop in from unknown, empty, and beyond space and therefore most of the discoveries happen on the bank of ocean, water, mountain etc. because you live with pure awareness and relax state same as when we wake up early in the morning with deep relaxation and powerful thoughts pops in our mind but whole night we gone for sleep. Madam Curie wanted to discover something and she put lots of effort and hard work for it but nothing has happened. One night she woke for few seconds and wrote down name (radium and polonium) on the paper and again she slept and it was the discovery in next morning. But remember a thought of discovery or innovation come from hard work too. Lesson is that we need to connect with nature for deep relaxation and then work hard. Most of the people are living in the dream, goal, ambition etc. and putting lots of hard work and struggle in order to get success but they are creating illusion and separation by wasting their time and energy because they are separating from present moment awareness so how can they live in peace, love, and relaxation by living in the future? They cannot. The more you struggle the more ego kicks in and separate us from the higher self. We need to live here and now and connect with it. Everything comes to you but relax and deeply relax. Whatsoever things are empty in nature, it always carries the greatest power. Water is empty and transparent in nature and therefore it can heal us moreover it carries the negative ion as well and the more we maintain the content of water inside us the better the health is. Sky is witnessing of everything whatsoever things are happening under it. Clouds appear and disappear but sky is always there in the same way we come in this life for few years and die but sky is witness of everything. Sun and moon are totally empty in nature therefore it carries the maximum power. Kids live from moment to moment because they live with no mind state or pure present state which is beyond words, actions, and thoughts and they are highly aware, awaken, and innocent. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for an unforgettable evening with human connection expert Mark Groves as he brings his powerful insights on relationships and an aligned life to Calgary! Experience the Transformation - Learn Better Boundaries At Create The Love, we believe relationships are at the heart of every meaningful aspect of life. Whether with a partner, family, friends, colleagues, or even yourself, understanding how to build and nurture healthy connections can transform your well-being and happiness. Yet, too often, we aren't taught the foundational skills that allow us to thrive— especially when it comes to setting and respecting boundaries. Without clear boundaries, we can lose touch with our needs, experience resentment, and struggle to communicate effectively. Learning how to define your limits with clarity and compassion isn’t just empowering—it’s essential for building trust, reducing conflict, and maintaining authentic connection. This immersive event explores the powerful role boundaries play in shaping healthy relationship dynamics. Through Mark’s signature blend of science-backed wisdom and heartfelt authenticity, you’ll gain practical tools for honoring your truth, holding space for others, and creating deeper connection—all within a supportive and growth-minded community. What to Expect Live Teaching Sessions - Gain transformative insights on building healthier relationships Interactive Q&A - Bring your burning questions for Mark to address Live Coaching - Witness breakthrough moments as Mark works directly with audience members Community Connection - Meet others on similar journeys toward more fulfilling relationships Whether you're single, dating, or in a committed partnership, this evening will equip you with practical tools toset better boundaries and connect more deeply with others. Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience Mark Groves' transformative approach to human connection in person. Come ready to learn, grow, and perhaps even change how you view relationships forever. Information Source: Mark Groves | eventbrite
