I'm a little tardy with this post, but I've been doing my new job for the last couple of weeks (CEO of Mob4Hire.com) ... which I'm tres excited about but extra busy; anyway better late than never, my Daddy always says.
On October 30, I went to the latest CTI Technology Showcase and Open House event called "Tech Lounge." Billed as "one of the best business networking events in Calgary," it didn't disappoint, with both floors of CTI filled to the brim with a who's who in the Calgary tech sector.
Instead of droning on endlessly about all the various companies, which you wouldn't read anyway, I thought I'd make this more of a "socialite" type page you find in the middle of the City section of your local paper. Call me a local tech paparazzi :) I only got a small percentage of the event, but it represents the excitement in the air and the breadth of the Calgary tech industry. Enjoy!
latah,
Stephen
