This morning we had a couple of special guests — Peter Evans, Venture Advisor to Ontario's MaRS Center, and Grover Righter, the General Manager and VP Marketing at San Francisco based iMobileInternet.com. Peter's the organizer of the MaRS Experience!Tech 2008 conference in Toronto on March 19, and Grover is a keynote speaker.
The call is a good overview of the event, plus some observations from Peter and Grover about what it takes to compete in the "Venture 2.0" world. If it's any indication of the quality of the event, attendees should be in for quite a day.
Enjoy!

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
