Mesh Conference - Toronto, May 15-16

Okay, talk about Collective Unconscience (thanks Rageboy)!

A 'Web2.0-type' conference is hitting Toronto in mid-may and the organizers, Mark Evans, Michael McDerment, Matthew Ingram, Rob Hyndman and Stuart MacDonald, have named it 'Mesh Conference'. Here in SF, a group of us have been wildly discussing mesh networks as a metaphor for the type of collaboration that is taking place right now. Leave it to the Canucks to come up with it. ;)

And, how is this for exciting? I join the ranks of speakers with Om Malik, Dr. Michael Geist, Paul Kedrosky, Steve Rubel, Stowe Boyd, Andrew Coyne, Jason Fried, Amber MacArthur, Chris Messina and David Crow. Whoah. Crazy nuts. Actually, they are nuts. They are giving me a 45 minute keynote where I get to shape and influence their audience all by myself. That is totally frightening (for them...;)...I have some nutty ideas).

So...Chris and I will be in town from May 12th - 19th and we are organizing a BarCampTdot with the help of David Crow, Jay Goldman and Deborah Hartmann for May 13/14. After the conference, I totally look forward to showing Chris my amazing hometown. Toronto, I've missed you.
