HAL 9000 Impresses at Toronto’s Lunch 2.0

On September 10th Codesta and scanR hosted 20+ guests from Toronto’s tech community for a Lunch 2.0 session. It was great to meet our neighbours, catch up with old friends and discuss new tech. We learned about the great new Twitter for groups known as Yammer. We heard about (then registered for!) the upcoming BarCamp for Product Managers event in Toronto and served up some great sandwiches & cookies from Dave and Drew at Le Gourmand. To get the conversation started we had everyone write down an answer to “My first computer was…”. Our winner was Don Millman, whose clever answer was actually the first computer he wanted.  HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

On behalf of the teams at Codesta and scanR, we would like to thank everyone for coming out and making it a great time. A special thanks goes out to the folks at Idée for helping us put on the event.  We met a lot of interesting people, who work for some cool companies with great ideas, products and services right here in our own neighbourhood. There is no doubt in our mind that Toronto has some of the best talent in the world, and it’s meeting people at events like Lunch 2.0 that allow connections to be made and ideas become reality.

Thanks for hosting the Lunch. I had a good time!

I also see that Lee did a good job marketing ProductCamp. :) I completely forgot to talk about it as apparently I was too busy asking you guys questions about your companies. :)

Can't wait for the next event!

Cheers,
Chris.
