Waterloo’s first BarCampWaterloo is today in the Tathum Centre at 2pm. With 23 people signed up I don’t think that is a bad number for a Friday with so much else going on this weekend. The plan for the afternoon is simple, come enjoy some coffee and tim bits, and talk about web technology.
The big things on campus this weekend, UW Expo and Homecoming is tomorrow. The speaker total this weekend includes:
UW Expo:
- Denise Donlon, Founder of Much More Music and former President of Sony Music Canada.
- George Roter and Parker Mitchell, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Engineers Without Borders
- Larry Smith, UW Economics Professor and Recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award
Homecoming has the best speaker (I think):
- Steven Lewis – The politician, broadcaster and diplomat is a Companion of the Order of Canada and in 2005 was named by TIME magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world (along with The Dalai Lama, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Nelson Mandela). Stephen will speak about global issues and engage in a question and answer session with the audience.
Plus today starts Entrepreneur week. With a ton of other events going on… Think there is lots to do in the Waterloo Region?
