Upcoming: StartupDrinks & Project HackersSpace

By Heri Jul 29th 2008 in Development, entrepreneurship, Events

This is short-notice, but we’ve got 2 excellent meetups this week:

  • We are holding a Montreal StartupDrinks wednesday 30th July from 6pm, at Café des Éclusiers again. The place is located at 400 rue de la Commune Ouest. It’s at the end of the old port near the St-Laurent.

    We had the last StartupsDrinks there last month, and it was a great event. About 25 people showed up, with a great mix of entrepreneurs, developers, business & technology consultants, CEOs and CTOs of software companies, also the team from montrealstartup.

    There have been comments last time by a few wondering if the place was really appropriate, but I found iit great, and so did most of the people who came. There is ample space; it’s easy to talk and meet people, and it’s also a great setting.

    Come have a drink with us, meet innovators & great people working in technology, come talk about your projects, share about your current startups!

  • There is a meetup today for the Project Montreal HackersSpace, at Café Chaos, at 6.30pm.The instigator of the project explains:

    Hacker Spaces are popping up all over the map and Montreal will be no exception.

    Proje(c)t Hacker Space Montreal is the first phase of having a hacker space in Montreal. At the moment our main necessity is to find anyone who is interested in shaping and building this project.

    After attending The Last HOPE, which was a huge primer on hacker spaces, a few members of Geek Montreal found out that their excuses were invalid. So if you frequent Montreal and are interested in shaping, building and enjoying this hacker space, send an email to phsmtl (at) gmail (dot) com

Great events where you get to meet hackers & entrepreneurs don’t come often in Montreal. If you read MontrealTechWatch, you need to be there!

    Startups solve problems. So if you find a problem there’s probably a startup idea lying somewhere nearby.
