On April 29 & 30th in Toronto leading investors, public & private executives and service providers are gathering to meet our country’s most innovative entrepreneurs at CIX. The conference will feature keynotes, educational sessions, facilitated & informal networking, and the startup showcase. I’ll be there to facilitate a workshop about using the web to its full potential.

There is no cost to submit and your company will be reviewed by a selection committee of over 20 leading investors. Their top rated companies will get 10 minutes to present on stage, and a guaranteed minimum of 3 meetings. It’s a no-lose situation, and if you have a business plan it should be easy to copy and paste.

There is also going to be a StartupCamp Toronto 2 at CIX, apply there too to double your chances of presenting your startup to a room full of people that can help.

This is a great opportunity to support technology startups in Canada and that’s why I’m working with Achillies Media to help spread the word. I presented at nextMEDIA, and they tapped me to help Canadian startups find out about the opportunity. I’m passionate about startups in Canada because of the high regard I hold for innovators I’ve met across this country. I hope a lot of people apply, and tell them I sent you.

Haha, my colleagues and friends at Raincity Studios made a hilarious video of their exploits at this year’s South by Southwest festival. I miss my days at Raincity and each and every person in the company, especially after watching this video. I guess I’ll just have to be happy as a co-founder, instead of an active member of the team. The world called me to other projects, but the emotional investment remains the same.

RCS CEO and 1/3 of our co-founding team, Robert Scales, a few RCS folks will be in Toronto from May 10th to 13th. If any TorCampers want to meet a badass Canadian new media entrepreneur – let me know. I’m sure we can setup a dinner and drinks in his honor.

I’m super excited about this because I get to go a conference that I can’t say enough good things about, see my west coast friends and colleagues so near and dear to my heart, and get an infusion of social web goodness to take back to Toronto and beyond.

So TorCampers, what do you want me to do for you while I’m there? What do you want me to find out, what kind of people do you want me to connect us to? Let me know and I’ll make it a priority.
