Yeah, so Mesh. When I heard that the guys behind it were thinking of doing it, to say I was pumped would be an understatement. I was off. The. Walls. Toronto absolutely needs a conference that brings the best minds in business and tech together. Particularly if those happen to be the best minds in Toronto as well.

When I heard about it, I’ll admit that I envisioned it being a Toronto event. Y’know, local experts, local speakers, local sponsors, etc. I’ll also admit that I fully expected to be invited to speak. Sure, some of that was ego (after all, I am The Jeremy Wright, bleh). Most of it was just “this is so my scene, I so want this to happen, why wouldn’t they want me there?”

Course, in my little whine/bitch-fest I didn’t allow for anything … like the speakers list not being finalized… or that they would just rather have me there instead of speaking.

Which should have been fine with me. But it wasn’t. I’m not apologizing for what I said, I’m just apologizing for being such a dick about it. After all, I could have just emailed the guys. I’ve done so enough times in the past.

Anyways, thanks in large part to them getting past my dickiness (I swear I am Canadian…), they have asked me to participate on one of the panels. More details to come.

In the future, feel free to not indulge my whining. Feel free to tell me to just shut up. I’m Canadian. I’ll probably just take it ;-)
