#140MTL Update – 8 days to the conference! Have you saved your spot?
An update on #140MTL
I love this quote by Christopher Reeve, tweeted out by JD Andrews. JD is a person I met on Twitter, who I follow for his wonderful travel insights, links and pictures – if you don’t know him, he is definitely one to follow.
In regard to this wonderful quote, I can’t think of anything more relevant to what happens when people put their minds together and commit to making dreams come true. Nothing is impossible in this world, and I think that the 140 Conferences are a great way of connecting with people and seeing this first hand, one on one. We can all say “anything is possible”, but when you are surrounded by people making it happen, suddenly magic happens and you are on your way.
Update: May 6, 2012
Several Months have gone by, and the #140MTL is just a couple days away! We’ve announced an incredible speaker line up, thanks to some great friends old and new, and wonderful speaker outreach from Josepf Haslam, it’s all added up to a fantastic team of people who have come together invested in making this event a great success - a group of people who truly know community.

Call for Speakers #140MTL May 15, 2012
I am pleased to announce that the International “State of Now” Conference a.k.a #140conf is coming to Montreal May 15th, 2012.
We are looking forward to an exciting international event joining both the French and English population together at #140conf Montreal!
As paraphrased from Jeff Pulver, founder and curator of the #140co / “State of Now” events worldwide:
The conference will be taking a look at the continued effects of the emerging real-time Internet on business, and systemic changes the worldwide adoption of the real-time web is having on a wide variety of industries, markets and people.
Our hope is to attract a diverse worldwide gathering of passionate people who will come to Montreal to connect with others and to share their perspective, their experiences and their stories about how the emerging real-time Internet is effecting their industry sectors and the people inside them.
We are looking for creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to come forward and pitch something relevant. The key to being selected to speak at #140conf is to submit a speaking proposal which shares your passion for a topic and how it has been touched by the real-time web.
We are looking for first-hand accounts of the impact of the real-time Internet is having across industry sectors. Our goal is to bring together a curated group of characters to both lead and contribute to the discussions.
The takeaways from this event will provide the attending delegates knowledge, perspectives and insights to the next wave of effects social media will have on business.
Connecting: Social Media meets IRL #140MTL Part 1
With the #140Conference Montreal scheduled for May we threw a meetup reception on November 30th to invite Montrealer’s, friends of #140conf and all those interested in learning about what the conference is about to come out and meet us.
Jeff Pulver, #140conf Founder and curator, graciously flew in from New York . J.C. Little, award nominated Montreal Director and Animator (@LittleAnimation) and Erica Diamond, Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur (@WomenontheFence) rearranged their schedules so they could be there, Debra Cincioni, President of Moms of America (@MomsofAmerica) headed up from D.C. and a flurry of awesome Montrealer’s as well as friends from Toronto and Ottawa jumped on the Eventbrite Invite to confirm they would join us at the Intercontinental Montreal, a venue chosen for their ability to represent the true flavors of Montreal in their setting.
Guests were greeted by #140conf volunteers @SuperThalia and @Sharon_Hy from #teamogilvy at the registration table. Josepf Haslam @Josepf helped with on-site logistics & set-up for me (thank you!). Absinthe Cocktails were served to all as they entered the Art Gallery for a brief mixer preceding the #140Conf presentation by Jeff. The evening was off to an amazing start.
