What’s the difference between mesh and meshmarketing
At mesh, we bring together four groups (entrepreneurs, marketers, media and citizens) to talk about what’s next online for business, marketing, media and society. It’s a thinking person’s conference that features challenging, insightful, engaging and provocative speakers and content. We want people to come away with new ideas, inspiration and tons of food for thought. What makes mesh different from other conferences is the audience is so varied. Marketing is one aspect of mesh. Our goal is to have you walk away from mesh having connected with like and un-like minds so you can take ideas back to where you work and play. You would join us at mesh to stretch your brain and challenge your thinking.
meshmarketing focuses on the conversations marketers, brands and communicators are having. If mesh is a pool of ideas to splash around in, meshmarketing is the deep dive. We aim to give you opportunities to connect, share and be inspired. This time, your sharing space with colleagues, clients, prospects and talent who if you don’t know now, you should. Ultimately, you’ll come to meshmarketing to get a better handle on how to leverage and capitalize on the power of the Web to build your brand and drive sales.

Insider Advice
In advance of mm12
- Register in advance. History has shown we sell out at mesh events. We anticipate the same is true this year.
- Plan to stay for socials. The networking is a big part of the experience. We will be announcing these details shortly. Best bet is to save the dates for the evenings of Nov 6 & 7. We’ll have great opportunities to mesh, network and socialize.

During mm12
- Be sure to pack your laptop, camera, audio recorder and/or camcorder. We’ll have lots of Wi-Fi at the conference. Don’t forget your power adapters because we’ll have charging stations. You can record, photograph and film to your heart’s content. But it’s up to you to get the permission of anyone you you want to photograph, record or film. Unfortunately, everything that happens in Toronto does not stay in Toronto.
- Bring your business cards and prepare to meet lots of fantastic people. This event offers lots of great content in the session rooms. However, outside the session rooms, you can connect with really talented folks…you’ll share ideas…and you’ll get inspired.
- Be prepared to talk. This event is as much about your thoughts and ideas as it is about what is said from the stage. We really want to hear from you.
