A Sweet Wireless Schedule!

Several weeks ago, we were approached by Sweet Caesar about the possibility of them creating a wireless application that would make the schedules for mesh and meshU available on a Blackberry and an iPhone.

Intrigued, I met with Sweet Caesar’s Yaeko Tong, who showed me some of the Toronto-based company’s work. It was so impressive that it was a no-brainer for Sweet Caesar to do something for mesh.

Without gushing too much, the Sweet Caesar/mesh application is super sweet. Not only are there detailed schedules for mesh and meshU but the application includes:

– A tool that lets you rate every keynote, panel and workshop (one to five stars)

– Bios and photos for every meshU and mesh speaker

– A floor plan for MaRS so you can quickly find out where the keynotes, panels and workshops are located

– A map that lists the locations of the meshU party at The Drake, the mesh party at the Rockwood and the after-party at L’Espresso Bar Mercurio

Yaeko and her team have really gone above and beyond the call of duty. We’re extremely impressed!

If you want to download the Sweet Caesar/mesh application, it will be available here on May 19 (Monday).

The Social Agenda at mesh and meshU

By mesh news, meshU

They say that all work and no play is no fun, and the same applies to mesh and meshU.

After listening to terrific keynotes, panels and workshops, it’s important to relax, have a refreshment and meet some new people. So, here’s the social schedule for mesh and meshU

meshU:

After meshU on May 20, there will be a social at The Lounge at the Drake Hotel (1150 Queen St. W.) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. This event is open to everyone (meshU ticket holders will get a complimentary cocktail from the Drake). The cocktail ticket and your invite will be included in your registration package at the registration desk at meshU.

After the first day of mesh on May 21, the social in the MaRS Atrium will happen from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. This year, it’s being sponsored by tripharbor.ca, the new cruise start-up launched by our own Stuart MacDonald.

The after-party is happening at Rockwood Club (31 Mercer Street) from 7 p.m. to midnight. Sponsored by the Social Media Group, the after-party is a great night where we will continue to mesh with the Toronto tech community, including everyone who attended meshU.Transportation to Rockwood will be provided by Expedia.ca. As well, we are pleased to announce that we will be working with LittleGeeks.org to raise funds for their worthy mission of donating home computers and Internet connectivity to children in need.

There will also be an after-after-party on May 22. Stay tuned for more details.
