Announcing StartupNorth – Canada's Conference for Startups – November 13-14

A lot of you have probably been wondering why we haven’t announced any events lately. That’s because we have been working on something really fun.

I am happy to finally go public with StartupNorth, the Conference.

David and I wanted to create something that would give us all a place to come together, connect, learn and that we would all walk away from feeling inspired.

We will be making announcements here over the next few months as we get closer to the conference. We are still working on bringing on more great speakers and a day of pragmatic, hands-on, workshops.

We are going all out to give you a world-class conference right here at home, and we will be asking you for your help, a lot. In the next few days and weeks we will taking your votes on what sessions and workshops you want to see and really need.
