mesh conference

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s three-day tour of Canada is making a stop at MaRS in downtown Toronto where he and Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced a $30-million investment in stem cell research. MaRS is also where the mesh conference is being held so if “The Arnold” has a few minutes of spare time on his schedule, we’d happy to have him take in one of workshops or panels. 🙂 Of course, we’d also be happy if he wanted to step on our main stage to deliver his thoughts on what’s going on Silicon Valley, and how the GTA can strive to encourage more entrepreneurial activity in the tech sector.

TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington kicked off mesh in fine fashion with a lively and informative chat with Mathew Ingram about the future of the media. Frank, honest, funny and entertaining, Arrington lived up to his reputation as one of the most influential voices within the Web community. Perhaps the most “colourful” exchange took place between Arrington and Pay-Per-Post CEO Ted Murphy, which saw Arrington describe Murphy has the “most evil person in the room”. Of course, Arrington also said he has no problem being controversial or outrageous because it drives traffic to TechCrunch and helps make him money. I’m sure there will be lots and lots (and lots) of blog chatter about Arrington soon.
