mesh is live!

What started a couple months ago as one of those animated “wouldn’t it be great to have a Web 2.0 conference in Toronto” conversations in a pub has finally become a reality with the (official) launch of mesh.
So what is mesh? It’s a two-day conversation about how the Web is impacting the media, public relations/marketing, business/finance and politics/society. To be honest, we have been humbled by the enthusiasm expressed by some of the top Web 2.0 voices such as Om Malik, Tara Hunt, Paul Kedrosky, Steve Rubel, Michael Geist, Jason Fried, Andrew Baron, Andrew Coyne and Amber MacArthur to participate. We've also got some fantastic sponsors to help make this conference as good as it can be.
When is mesh? It's happening May 15/16 in Toronto at the MaRS Collaboration Centre. You can register by visiting out Web site, which just went live.
Who's behind mesh? Well, there's myself, Globe & Mail reporter Mathew Ingram, Web 2.0 entrepreneur Michael Mcderment, business lawyer Rob Hyndman and Expedia.ca founder Stuart Macdonald.
Come and join us; it's going to be a great way to immerse yourself in everything Web 2.0.
Update: Check out some of the early blogosphere buzz from Tara Hunt, Steve Rubel, David Crow, Stowe Boyd and Peter Dawson.
