Hey Craig, how were those conferences? Any experiences you’d like to share?
Mesh is such a wonderful conference. I’ve been both years now and I think it strikes a wonderful balance between the agility of things like BarCamps (working sessions) and professional style of some of the larger conferences, without the whopping price tag. Mesh is around $400 which is a very attractive price. Most sessions are panels where the audience really gets to interact with the panel. Highly recommended and probably the best event to get to know the Toronto startup crowd, if you’re from Ottawa or Montreal.
