Well… Firsts are firsts… In my last post I made a rare exception in publishing a post from another source… This time I will publish my one and only post in English on this blog since it’s debut in 2006. It’s for a good cause: Connect 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disclosure:\u00abI’m the Program chairman for 3 of the events staged in the Connect 2012 week\u00bb.<\/p>\n

This said, you wonder what to do between May 14 and May 17? You heard about webcom-Montreal <\/a>before? Of course, it’s a bilingual event and it will be the 12th edition next week. 12th? Yes cause it’s staged twice a year, usually in May and November and hosts the best and the brightest of the Web 2.0 speakers in THE WORLD<\/strong>, Canadian, Americans, Brits, Serbs, Russians, Germans, etc. name it. You heard about SXSW or been there ? You went to Web 2.0 Summit in SF?. Connect 2012 is in the same big league with more than 120 speakers from around the world and also a group of 20 international bloggers. Between these two dates you will have Workshops<\/a> the 14 on all sort of subjects, from Marketing to Social Business passing by Cloud computing etc. On the 15, the organizers will stage \u00abLa Boule de cristal<\/a>\u00bb, the biggest IT event in the province with the theme \u00abIt’s all about Data\u00bb with keynotes speakers such as Ariel Garten<\/a> on Thought Control Computing, Alistair Croll<\/a> on Big Data, Gordon Bell<\/a> from Microsoft on LifeLogging, Julie Steele<\/a> from O’Reilly on Data Visualisation.<\/p>\n

The 3rd day, the organizers will stage webcom-Montreal that will be oriented on Social Business with international stars such as Jeremiah Owyang<\/a>, Sameer Patel<\/a> from SAP, Rawn Shah<\/a> from IBM, Thomas Vander Wal <\/a>from InfoCloud Solutions, Aaron Strout,<\/a> the \u00abguru\u00bb of Location Based Marketing and many more. And on Thursday, they will present MixMedias Montreal<\/a>, an event for Web content & video producers with international stars such as Ben Kunz<\/a>, Richard Millington<\/a>, Bryan Segal<\/a>, Stowe Boyd<\/a>, Andy Nulman<\/a> and many more.<\/p>\n

And more events because you also have, inside webcom-Montreal, a live event called Gouv 2.0<\/a>, a webcamp, a bookstore event. Inside MixMedia you also have Montreal Web Video<\/a> \u00a0event with also great international speakers such as Adrienne McAllister<\/a> from Google,\u00a0and outside the day events you have all sorts of Galas and Partys. The most glamour of them will be staged on Wednesday night with the Numix <\/a>\u00a0Quebec’s multimedia production Awards\u00a0and to close the evening, the New Tech Industry Party at the SAT. Ouf…<\/p>\n
