That's a great idea. I didn't take notes, but I would go back through the content and highlight some things that I thought were particularly important, once that content is available...

Thanks Ben -- we really focused on having a lot of practical content in there,. We will be mailing out a link where people can get the content in a zip file as well. Sample term sheets, legals, etc.

The key - and I hope I have time to write about this on my blog - is that most of the information was practical. That's important. There were details in many of the presentations that you wouldn't normally get at a similar conference. And some tough questions asked. Hopefully next time the questions get even tougher.

InstaPitch was critical as well. Again: practical.

I think there are enough conferences / presentations / blogs / etc. that talk about the sky falling, about macro issues, and provide fairly generic, standard advice. And even those blogs that provide real, detailed and practical advice can't replace the face-to-face, in-person atmosphere of an event.

Nice job guys.

Well done boys. You have done the Canadian start-up community a great service with your fine conference.

Amen indeed!

I wish I'd been there for the full day, not just the social event (everyone I spoke to was raving about the sessions). Well done Jevon and team on creating an event that has already done a ton to help the startup/vc community here. Looking forward to the next one! :)
