Everyone Has a Story to Tell

By mesh12, Uncategorized

I was part of a mesh meeting recently where Mark Evans “man of action” (as I think of him) made reference to the stories he reads to his daughter.

He pointed out one of the lessons these stories tell is we all have a special talent. As you can imagine, there were some colorful comments about what each founder thought the others special talent might be (you’ll never get me to reveal!!).

It got me to thinking about my own role within the mesh team. mesh is a unique creature because mesh is not anyone’s full time role. The founders come together in their “spare” time, and I use that term very loosely, as none of them have much time to spare.

My role is to connect amazing companies with the mesh platform. I talk about mesh to many people. Sometimes, it is dollar and cents driven conversation but more often then not, it is just plain relationship driven.

While my title might be “sponsorship coordinator”, I might be better defined as a juggler of ideas or, even better, the mesh cheerleader.

I truly mean it when I tell you our goal is to make something fit that shows off your brand in a meaningful way. There is no end to the creativity we can make happen on your behalf.

You know your company best and what your special talent is, so let’s work together to put that in front of 800+ tech savvy business people that will make up the mesh audience on May 23 and 24.

Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Mike Evans

By mesh12

Steadily but surely, the Web is changing the diagnosis, treatment and management of healthcare.

With access to more information than ever before, patients are more knowledgeable than ever. Meanwhile, new technologies are changing how health practitioners do their jobs, and how these services are offered.

In his presentation on May 24, Dr. Michael Evans will give you insight into 21st century healthcare and medicine from the perspective of a doctor who has embraced technology and the spirit of entrepreneurialism.

Earlier this year, Mike and Nick De Pencier put together a video (see below) about the importance of living a health lifestyle that quickly went viral. To date, it has been viewed nearly 2.5 million times.

Early-bird tickets are now on sale for $579, while student tickets can be purchased for $99.

DefineTO: Welcome to Our New Partner

By mesh12

When we started mesh in 2006, one of the biggest reasons was our interest in supporting the local high-tech community by creating a place where people could gather to talk about the exciting things happening online.

While mesh has expanded to become Canada’s leading digital conference, we’ve maintained our focus on helping to nurture and grow the community to make it more successful and vibrant.

This focus is why we’re excited about our new partnership with DefineTO, which shares many of same beliefs we do. With a focus on encouraging peoples’ passion, ambition and success, DefineTO has become an organization that is making the community better.  mesh and DefineTO also have a shared mission to encourage, nurture and celebrate innovation.

In other words, mesh and DefineTO are completely aligned, which is a great way to establish a new partnership.

To celebrate our new partnership and support our friends at DefineTO, we’ll be giving away one FULL mesh conference pass next Thursday at DefineTO – only ANOTHER reason to attend!
