The Future of Work and the Enterprise
A keynote conversation with JP Rangaswami, salesforce.com

In 2010 when Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff hired JP, he said, “I can think of no one better as salesforce.com’s Chief Scientist than JP Rangaswami. He has the rare talent of being able to see what the future should be, knowing what it takes to get there, and the enthusiasm to make it happen. He is a true innovator.”

When we decided to explore the topic of the future of work and the enterprise, we looked to salesforce.com because it has been a pioneer in developing enterprise platforms. Given JPs experience and expertise and insight, we are sure JP will deliver terrific insight about the future of work, how it is being disrupted and where work will go next.

On his blog, JP has said it is only a matter of time before enterprise software consists of only four types of application: publishing, search, fulfilment and conversation. During this keynote conversation, we will delve deeper into this expectation, its impact on the enterprise and, ultimately, its impact on you.

The Evolution of Education

By mesh conference mesh13, society stream

A keynote conversation with Ryan Carson of Treehouse

Education has been delivered pretty much the same way for hundreds of years. The Web, however, is starting to shove aside the status quo as new ways are created to deliver and consume education anywhere, any time and any place.

At mesh, we’ve been talking about how the Web has changed the way we learn and teach. This year, we felt it was time to have a keynote so we could do a deep dive. Treehouse, created and led by Ryan Carson, has developed an extensive library of step-by-step video courses and training exercises that give their “students” (we mean, clients) a wide range of competitive, in-demand technology skills.

Learn to build Websites
Create iPhone and Android apps
Code with Ruby on Rails and PHP
…all in your PJs

No experience needed and no pre-reqs required. Treehouse has a seemingly simple mission: bring affordable technology education to people everywhere so they can achieve their dreams and change the world. In the process of building Treehouse, will Ryan and his team at Treehouse change the world themselves? Ryan will talk about the evolution of education, and how his company, Treehouse, is playing a key role in the process.

Allowing entrepreneurs to attend Canada’s leading digital conference for free

As Canada’s startup community continues to gather more momentum, mesh is excited to announce the second edition of its popular Hosted Startup Program.

The program helps startup entrepreneurs come to mesh 13, Canada’s leading digital conference, which is happening on May 15/16 at the Allstream Centre in Toronto.

A key part of the Hosted Startup Program is the support provided by mesh’s sponsors: Visa Canada, Ernst & Young, Rackspace and Wildeboer Dellelce.

Applications for the program are now open. To apply, you need to be a leader or future leader actively involved in the startup community. You love talking about your startup and can explain why you should attend mesh.

Once the application process has closed, hosted startups will be handpicked, recommended and qualified by mesh. The hosted startup scholars will be invited to participate in the program free of charge.

The mesh team is also excited about a Demo Alley that will provide 20 startups with the opportunity to showcase their products. In addition, mesh will showcase selected entrepreneurs from the main stage to talk about their startup in front of all attendees as part of the 15 Minutes of Fame program.
