New Giant Goat T Shirt

Filed under: events,fun,local — Tags: Conference, events, Giant Goat, goats, Guelph Tech and Design, Guelph Technology, Guelph Technology Showcase, U of G, University of Guelph — Mike @ 6:24 pm

Next Tuesday we will be attending the Guelph technology Showcase (1.0), being held at the University of Guelph Science Complex Atrium.

As this event will be focused at a slightly younger audience than the majority of events which we attend, we thought it was a great opportunity to debut a new t-shirt (and giveaway some shwag).

I present to you the result of this, the 3 Goat Moon shirt.

3 Goat Moon, yes the 3 Goat Moon

We will be holding a draw to giveaway 2 of these T-shirts. If you want to get your hands on one be sure to drop by our booth to enter!

We may be there or we may be wandering around the Atrium but hay the new T-shirt will give us away, come up and say hi, we talk to anyone.

Guelph Art on the Street 2011

Filed under: events,fun,local,Uncategorized — Tags: Art on the Street, events, Guelph Events 2011, local, news — Mike @ 1:55 pm

The 9th annual Guelph Art on the Street event is less then a week away. On Saturday July the 16th from 10am-5pm Quebec street will be closed off, and lined with the 64 artists of various disciplines, from painters, potters, blacksmiths, jewelers, glass blowers, textile artists, photographers and much more. I was lucky enough to be selected to take part in the event this year, you will find me selling some older pieces, as well as a series I have been working on just for the show.

You can view the program, as well as a map here .

June Events

Filed under: events — Tags: accessibility, democamp, events, guelph — Dave @ 3:23 pm

Trudy missed Guelph Web Makers Meetup for Accessibility Camp at U of G, which I think was a fair trade off (@seanyo, don’t make us choose) — I’ll see if she can get her notes online. And I missed DemoCamp Guelph while I was in San Francisco, toasting PostRank and arguing about Groupon.

I will be at Ignite Waterloo on Wednesday, this may be their first time not sellng out (it’s a bigger venue) so you can still pick up $5 tickets and heckle Kelly Brooks. Update: as of Wednesday, they were in fact sold out.

If you want to stay closer to home, Transition Guelph is having an orientation Wednesday, June 15, 7pm at 10 Carden ‘if you want to know more and are eager to share your vision of a more resilient, sustainable Guelph’.

Wednesday there’s the Guelph Web Maker Meetup but we’ll probably be too tired from Canada 3.0. Still it’s a good event from @seanyo

Thursday, there’s an all-star line up speaking at Guelph Technology Forum on Organizations and Initiatives in Tech at eBar 6-8pm with: Simon Clarke, Brydon Gillis, David Hayes, Lloyd Longfield, Rob McLean and Sean Yo.

Next Tuesday the 10th is Google I/O and this time it’s happening in Waterloo:

10:00 am – 1:00 pm: Keynote, Google Engineer Speaker, Brunch
1:00 pm – 4:15 pm: Midday Breakout Sessions, Beverages & Bites
4:15 pm – 7:45 pm: Afternoon/Evening Breakout Sessions, Tours, Google Engineer Speakers

DemoCampHamilton2 will be taking place Friday May 27th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Mohawk College. There will be a keynote presentation by Mic Berman, acting COO at FreshBooks and Founder at Embarkonit, as well as demos by FluidMedia, Dan Zen, Indellient, Open Hamilton and MealDeck. The event is being sponsored by Innovation Factory, Mohawk College and iDeaWORKS.

DemoCampGuelph17 will be June 8th, all of us will be there. You should be too

It’s over a month away, but we’re getting excited for Ignite Waterloo 6, a series of 5 minutes talks with no chance of extra time — it’s an interesting format. Tickets aren’t on sale yet, we’ll tweet when they are.
