Any Gaming conferences/etc.. coming to Vancouver, Canadaarea?

Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Many people never heard of it, but we house some of the largest gaming companies. (600+ employee EA Sports for example).

Counter-Strike, winner of Best Game Of The Year, developed here. The man behind the madness lives 10 minutes away from me.

We have a College dedicated to Gaming only (CDIS).

With all of these assets, and more, I have yet to see any kind of gaming conference or seminar here.

Why?!

I'm a Level Designer (2+ years) and don't want to travel to San Diego everytime something gaming related happens! :)

Is there something Gaming related happening in the Vancouver area? Even the Seattle area is close enough (3 hour drive).

Cheers!

I posted a similar question in 3D palette a long time ago and never found an answer, I plan on moving to vancouver in september because it seems to be the best place in canada for game developers(and my sis is moving there) so if you find out anything Geoff please let me know and I'll do the same for you
