About Us

Digital momentum over the long haul: that's what Canada 3.0 is about. The event itself provides a once-a-year opportunity for Canadians in digital media to come together to discuss the key issues and make the plans required to propel Canada to a leadership position in global digital media. But Canada 3.0 is greater than an event - it's a shared idea that requires the energy and passion of inventors, academia, entrepreneurs, industry, and government to become reality. The Canada 3.0 Community provides the repository for collecting and sharing the information, discussion, and outcomes of our collaborations.

Canada 3.0 is a joint effort of the Canadian Digital Media Network (CDMN) and the University of Waterloo | Stratford Campus. We recognized in 2008 that Canada had existing expertise in many areas digital media. Though the industry was (and is) dispersed, our national know-how could be harnessed to create greater momentum for all areas of digital media. Canada 3.0 was born to start the discussion. To create critical connections and networks. And to determine - as a group - how we can position our nation to advantage as we move from the 2.0 world of information sharing, collaboration, interoperability, and user-centred design to 3.0: the next stage of digital - whatever it may look like.
