Yesterday morning, I attended my first MTEBM at Bistro etc. I’ve always been a bit shy, but it was surprisingly easy (even for me) to start talking. I met some very nice people and the energy level was high.

Mark Schanzleh and his partner Amélie Racine talked about staynomad, their travel startup. Mark is very passionate and he probably could have talked about his project all morning long. I had a very interesting (and mostly technical) talk with Marc-André Cournoyer and Pierre Phaneuf. On my way back, I had the chance to discuss with Mathieu Balez. He’s a smart guy and I can’t wait to see what new project he is working on. He is also starting a Montreal on Rails community, with the first meeting around August 7.

You can read Marc-André’s and Heri’s report with some photos.
