Stowe Boyd, a well-recognized visionary and “industry maven” in web-ville, was in Toronto recently and is coming back for mesh. With all the buzz Toronto’s getting right now, our reputation as a place for creative, leading-edge thinking and work is being enhanced. This is the kind of thing that proves out Richard Florida’s thesis.
I welcome Stowe’s half-serious emigration ponderings. I, for one, would be happy to help unload some boxes from the moving van. My preferred beer is Steam Whistle. While in Toronto for the mesh conference, we’d be happy to provide a tour of Liberty Village and the Distillery District. Maybe somebody can hook the man up with Lord of the Rings tickets.
Stowe, when it comes to relocating your new venture, “advisory capital” company “A Working Model”, Toronto’s DemoCamp community will welcome you with open arms. In fact, we’ve got some interesting ideas brewing for the next stage of community-building. I invite you to sign-up for BarCampToronto 2.0 the weekend prior to mesh and we’ll talk massively parallel innovation pipelines.
