BridgeCamp McGill Winter 2010

Page history last edited by Philippe Gauvin 14 years, 2 months ago

NDLR : Some pics of the first event here ! 

 

For our first BridgeCamp on the McGill campus on Jan 21st, we are very lucky to welcome Frédéric Lalonde, serial hacker/entrepreneur whose former company NewTrade Technologies was acquired by Expedia in 2002. He has accepted to come to talk to McGill students about startup culture, startup ideas and his current project, openplaces.org with two of his developers.

 

It's a great opportunity for any student to learn from and ask questions to someone who has done it successfully and who's trying to repeat it again.

 

The event is scheduled for 17h30 on Jan 21st in the MBA Lounge on the 3rd floor of the Bronfman Building (McGill campus).
