The Canada 3.0 Forum coming up on June 8th and 9th in Stratford promises to map Canada’s digital future and create opportunities for new business and jobs. Hosted by the University of Waterloo Stratford Institute and the Canadian Digital Media Network (CDMN), the forum is the must-attend event for anyone in the Digital Media Corridor.
The forum will addresses four themes - content and entertainment, technology and business, government, and research and education - and will provide participants with opportunities to actively engage industry leaders and speakers. Among the scheduled speakers are:
“Anyone who wants to be part of Canada’s digital future has a vested interest in being at this forum,” said Tom Jenkins, Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer at Open Text and a speaker at the event. “Canada has the opportunity to lead by enabling a groundswell of entrepreneurial businesses in the digital media space. Next-generation content and technology will claim Canada’s stake in the competitive digital economy.”
The federal government recently recognized this huge economic opportunity by investing $10.7 Million in the CDMN, in part to establish UW’s Stratford Institute and to host critical opportunities like Canada 3.0.
