Technology events this week

Posted on April 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

Tonight (Tuesday, April 6) is Montreal NewTech Demo for April.  It’s a chance for startup founders to show off their stuff.  It’s taking place at McKibbon’s Irish Pub on Bishop, near Concordia.  It goes from 6-8pm.  You can RSVP here.  I won’t be there tonight as I’ve got stuff scheduled at the same time.

Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 7) there will be a seminar held covering incentive plans for startups (read: stock options, among other things).  This is good stuff for anyone seriously interested in building a startup.  The presenters include Startup CFO blogger Mark MacLeod.  The event is free but you must RSVP.  It will take place between 5:30 and 8:00

Montreal technology events this week

Posted on March 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

So there are (so far) three technology-scene happenings this week (but only two are new, thanks Raymond Luk and Startup Digest Montreal).

Ok – YULBiz, a business blogging organization, is holding an event sponsored by Tourisme Montreal at Jello Lounge on Ontario on March 30 (that’s tomorrow).  I can’t find any mention of this event on their website, which appears to have gone stale, the most recent blog post is from Nov 2008.   Anyways, there’s a Facebook event for it and @yulbiz has tweeted about it.  I won’t be able to make it, as much as I’d like to.  Next time.

As mentioned previously, Startup Drinks Montreal is happening on Wednesday, March 31.  It will be held (as usual) at Brutopia – be there between 5:30 and 7:30 for prime time.

Finally, on Thursday, April 1, there is the social media breakfast.  The breakfast will be held at B-Side Bar & Lounge on St-Laurent and will take place between 9AM and 11AM.  The cost is 10$ and covers the food, which will be prepared by Chef Dana Elsliger of Griffintown’s La Bistrote.  The guest of honor is Mitch Joel, author of “Six Pixels of Separation” and president of Twist Image (gosh, they make real pretty websites, but I don’t like the dairy industry – too cruel, cows are not milk machines!).

Twestival: Thursday, March 25

Posted on March 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

The second annual Twestival will be held in Montreal tomorrow evening at Bain Mathieu.  Twestival is a meet-up of local Twitter users, although you certainly do not have to be one to attend (I showed up last year when I was not using Twitter).   The idea is to meet and to raise funds for a cause – this year it is Concern worldwide, an organization working towards improving access to education overseas.

There will be presentations and musical performances by various, including a private show with local celebrity David Usher.  Schedule is here and click here to buy tickets.  See you there!

Montreal Startupdrinks: Wednesday, March 31

Posted on March 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

Startupdrinks is a monthly social event hosted by Flow ventures for local entrepreneurs who are mostly (but not always) in the social media/technology space.  It started in here Montreal and has grown into a cross-canada phenomenon.  Startupdrinks Montreal March will be held at Brutopia, on Crescent street (just north of Rene Levesque) on Wednesday, March 31.  It starts at 5:30-ish but is really happening between 6:30 and 7:30.  If you’re a local entrepreneur doing something cool, come meet us – it is the most popular informal, regularly scheduled event of its kind.
