mesh is Canada's digital transformation and innovation event taking place in Calgary and Toronto each year.
Wow. No time to post, really, but quickly…
Om kicked it off with a great scene setter, Michael Geist rocked with another great overview, I think the discussion style keynotes are working well, the questions really strong and the 15 Minutes gang were also impressive.
More on the wiki.
Folks are arriving, we are running around like crazy, the meshing has begun. Our promise: keep the coffee coming.
Giddyup…
Man, it is something how stoked people are about being a part of mesh. We continue to be blown away, and we sure wish we could let everybody who wants to come, come. In fact, people have been pinging me with various and sundry tales of woe regarding how they forgot to register and just *HAVE TO GET IN*. For instance, we have had two people from Vancouver – one who had made it all the way here to Toronto, and one who was still at the Vancouver airport – who pinged me in a panic because they realized that they did not have a ticket. We have managed to help them and a few others out, I am happy to say.
But…
mesh is really, truly, completely, “we don’t know that we have enough chairs and are getting worried about having enough food,” Sold Out. This is not a PR spin-y thing, and the fact that it happened the Friday before was merely a happy coincidence. We are really, truly full; there is no more room at The Inn.
As much as it pains us to say so, we have to ask that if you have not already registered for mesh, that you please do not come to MaRS tomorrow and hope to get in. We won’t be able to help at the door, nor will we have last minute spaces. We will unfortunately be saying “Sadly, no.”
It is, as they say, a great problem to have. But a problem nonetheless.
See you registered folks at breakfast 🙂
