Montréal NEWTECH

Hi all, I’m in here in Colorado in final preparations to come to Montreal on Monday. I would like to remind you about our first meetup on Tuesday (Sept 2nd). There will be no demos at this meetup. Just an informal get together at Brutopia for some good beer and talk startups.

So, if you still have some room for more beer after Startup Drinks tonight, I would love to meet you all next week.

If you do plan on attending it and have a Meetup.com account, please RSVP here. (If you decide last minute, no worries, just come by on Tuesday and look for us)

I’m going to bring my camera and maybe we can take some video of some of us introducing ourselves to the community: what we’re working on, what we’re looking for… anything. Then I can share it in here for others to see… So, prepare your pitch if you’d like to share anything.

Hope to meet you all next week. I’ll be wearing a red Meetup.com shirt

PS: You can also join our Facebook group and/or our LinkedIn group!

The first BitNorth Conference is another tech event happening in the Montreal area. It will take place on the weekend of September 5-7 in Lake MacDonald, QC.

In their words: “The format of the event is collaborative; attendees are expected to contribute. Everyone has to be prepared to present for 10 minutes, moderate, show a video, or participate in a panel surrounding the theme; then the organizers pick the presentations and content from what’s submitted. We’re hoping this will lead to lots of people with strong opinions and great discussion.”

This event is organized by Bitcurrent, Syntenic, IDG Communications, Flow Consulting and Akoha.

We just created a Montreal NewTech Facebook group, so if you’re a Facebook user, please join us there and invite your friends/colleagues too.

We have also added some other tech/entrepreneur events happening in Montreal in the next weeks on the left. If you’re hosting an event or know about another one, please let us know.

There are a lot of interesting events happening every week in Montreal and you should join this active tech community. A couple of other resources for finding events and more Montreal tech info are: TechVibes and Montreal Tech Watch.

Also, be sure to check out some of the Montreal bloggers on the right.

Hi all, we got a word from LinkedIn that the Montreal NewTech group has been approved. If you’re a LinkedIn user, make sure you join our group there too.

Hello tech community of Montreal. My name is Felipe Coimbra and I’m moving to Montreal on September 1st. I noticed we didn’t have a Montreal NewTech Meetup group yet, but there are a lot going on in the startup scene over there.

I decided to start this meetup because I was an active member of the Silicon Valley NewTech, SF NewTech and Boulder NewTech and I think it’s a great way for us to network as well as to share with other tech centers what we’re doing in Montreal.

I want this site and the Montreal NewTech meetup events to be used by all of us as resources to share our ideas, products, ask for help, find jobs, meet other tech enthusiasts, form partnerships, etc.

If you want to get involved, post your event, or have anything else you think the Montreal Tech community should know, please send me an email.

For those of you who are not familiar with the NewTech meetups format, please see what to expect here.

We’ll do the first official Montreal NewTech meetup on October 7th, as I won’t have enough time to put it all together for September 2nd.

However, if you don’t have any plans for September 2nd, we could make the first one a “Startup Drinks” style meetup. The best beer I have ever had was from Brutopia, so let’s meet there for Happy Hour at 7pm.

Please join our group and RSVP at Meetup.com.

I’m very excited to be back in Montreal and I look  forward to meeting you all in a few weeks.
