Codesta Sponsors Toronto Product Management Association

Codesta is happy to announce our sponsorship of the Toronto Product Management Association (TPMA). We've been regular attendees at association events over the last year, and we've always been impressed by the organization, its membership and topics they cover.

Events have ranged from ProductCamp, to the challenges faced by Product Managers trying to roadmap product plans in the enterprise (a great session delivered by Chris Draper, Rogers Cable), to our very own Robert Osborne participating in a panel discussing on Web 2.0 and 3.0 technology updates.

We're very excited to contribute to this community and support the TPMA's growing membership base. In particular, we look forward to helping the TPMA develop new software tools and services to enable an even greater impact on the Product Management community-at-large.

Codesta Sponsors mesh 2009

Codesta is very pleased to annouce that we're a sponsor at this year's mesh conference. It's being held again at MaRS. We've been attending a lot of events at MaRS recently, including last year's ExperienceTech, and the monthly Mobile Monday Toronto sessions.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending meshU.  It's a good change to the mesh line-up as it supports 3 technology tracks (management, design and development), making it easy to customize your activities for the day. I personally really enjoyed Daniel Debow's presentation on Keeping Great People and April Dunford's discussion regarding how Smart Market Strategy Can Drive Growth. I'm sure Rob has a couple of favourites too, so keep an eye out for updates soon. Also, the speakers promised to publish their presentation on the meshU website, so hopefully those updates are coming shortly too.

In the evening I had the good fortune to attend this month's Mobile Monday presentation by Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. He's an excellent presenter and humourist (though he'd likely never admit to the latter), and I can share that he has a truly unique business card. For many of us, his lastname is not easy to pronounce first time through... Lucas combats this with a phonetic literation of his name on his card, including the word Scotch in it ("scotch-cough-ski"). Awesome!

A good first day and we're very excited to be a sponsor at this year's conference. We look forward to seeing you there...
