Toronto to host Mesh 2.0

Mesh conferenceI’m blocking off a few days in my calendar for the second Mesh conference in Toronto next May. Although it’s barely five months since I was lucky enough to attend the first Mesh – also in Toronto – I’m ready and eager for more.

Mesh is all about social media – principally the sorts of thing we used to hear described as Web 2.0. The first conference drew almost 400 people, including guest luminaries Om Malik, Steve Rubel, Paul Kedrosky, Michael Geist and many more. The atmosphere was fantastic – remarkable really, since this was the first time Stuart, Rob, Mathew, Mark and Mike had attempted to organise such a major event.

MP3s of some presentations have just been posted on the Mesh site and are well worth a listen. Mesh was more than great presenters, however. It was also a chance to meet some of the world’s most interesting digital entrepreneurs, and there was a lot of networking going on. Stuart summed it up at the opening session: “Let’s mesh”.

It will be hard to outdo Mesh 1, but I’m sure the guys won’t have any trouble attracting a large and enthusiastic crowd for Mesh 2. See you in Toronto!
