Recap of the first Montreal Meets

MM First Edition Intro from Montreal Meets on Vimeo.

It's a wrap for our first Montreal Meets, this time we had the chance to meet Fabio Sasso (Abduzeedo) and James White (Signalnoise). I must admit that it was a big success! It started with just a simple idea and became something bigger.

I never thought that Montreal Meets will have such a great response from the design community. Job well done to our speakers, our volunteers and our stream team! I really enjoyed working with you guys!

On the other hand, we had some technical problems as well, the cursed microphone was a major part of it! I don't know why, but the mic decided NOT to work that day! That caused us some delay and bad hearing for the audience and for the streaming online!

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would love to thank some people for their participation for the first Montreal Meets.

First of all I wanted to thank my two great speakers (Fabio and James) for coming here in this cold and share your experience and knowledge to the world.

Second of all, I wanted to thank all the people that got involved into this project: George Lazaris, Colin Oakes, Tina (DASA), Alice, Linda, Nancy K, Poonam, MatMacQuarrie, Ciprian, Charles-Étienne, Yasmine and a special thanks to my fiancee Alyson. I couldn't have done this without you guys, big thanks!

I also wanted to thank my sponsors and supporters: WMC Fest, Go Media, Delicate Machines, Production JG, Infopresse, BlackSky Records and DASA.

I will publish in the upcoming days the Montreal Meets Highlights Video and also if you wanna get some MM gear; here's the link for getting some posters and t-shirts from the event. There's still a couple left! Montreal Meets on BigCartel

Stay tuned!
