Had a great time photographing and attending the Montreal International Startup Festival and have just posted the photos from the event to my Flickr photostream. I’ve written a few articles and will be adding a few more on Next Montreal – you can check out my coverage of Randy Smerik‘s excellent presentation on making sure your company is always ready to be bought here. Thank you to Ben Yoskovitz for the invitation to help him cover the event and many thanks to the many people I met and / or reconnected with whose good looks and willing smiles gave my camera something to focus on. I’ll be connecting directly with those of you whom I had the fortune to chat with personally but if we failed to meet at Startupfest, please feel free to do so anytime with me here or on Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter. (In header photo from left to right: Phil Telio, (Startup Festival King), Dave McClure (500 Startups) and Ilana Ben-Ari whose Twonicorntoys.com got Phil and Dave to wear the same shirt blindfolded).

Yes, they're techies too.
