An Exciting Program...

Join us for Canada 3.0 in Stratford, Ontario, on May 10th and 11th to be part of the conversation on the future of Digital Media in Canada. 

The program, targeting attendees from Industry, Public Sector and Academia, includes one of our major goals, what we're calling the "Moonshot": Anyone can do anything online in Canada by 2017. (Why 2017? Canada`s 150th b-day!)

In addition to our keynote speaking engagements, participate in a full program of interactive sessions, informal meet-ups, camp-style discussions, exhibits and more as we work together on developing tangible actions to propel Canada's digital future. 

Keep checking back for more details as they become available!
