Many of you have likely never heard of Communitech. Here's how they describe themselves: "...the hub for the commercialization of innovation, creating economic prosperity by removing barriers to the creation and growth of tech companies. Our goal is to create more successful global tech businesses for Canada." For those of you not living in Southwestern Ontario, it's a shame, as you likely won't have much chance to get to know them. Anyway...
We (Dynamic Intelligence) were members of Communitech several years ago, and I was frankly a bit disappointed. But at the urging/recommendation of a business peer (Rick from Virtual Causeway - thanks!), I decided to reacquaint my self with Communitech. And in short, I am really happy I did!
I spent all day yesterday attending the Tech Leadership Conference organized by Communitech. Fantastic speakers! (Clay Christensen, Bill Taylor, Noel Biderman). Great breakouts! And great networking opportunities. All in all, a day well spent.
After leaving the event, I went back to my office and started exploring their resources more, and I have to say the Communitech blog is pretty good - already found out about a couple of things I hadn't heard before.
Anyway, just wanted to commend them on a job well done, and say I'm looking forward to being a member.
NB - This is not a paid commercial for Communitech! :) I just think they're pretty cool!
