DemoCamp2 (Montreal); Austin’s Hill’s Campaign

by Mark Evans on February 11th, 2007

DemoCamp 2 happens in Montreal on March 29 at the Society for Arts and Technology. For an entusiastic and encouraging overview of what’s happening within the tech communities in Montreal and Toronto, check out Austin Hill’s “Canada’s Mojo Rising” post. In my opinion, Hill is emerging as an important catalyst/growth agent within Canada’s tech community, which desperately needs people to wave the flag and, as important, encourage people to wave their own flags. Aside from the lack of start-up capital, one of the most frustrating elements of the tech community is the total lack of self-promotion. Instead of yelling about the great things they’re developing and how they’re going to kick some serious ass, too many Canadian tech entrepreneurs quietly toil away and then wonder why no one (investors, media, employees) aren’t beating a path to their doors.
