Tomorrow morning at 9am (Friday, February 8th 2008) there will be a meeting at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada’s Toronto offices (151 Young St, 3rd floor boardroom) to discuss their subsidy for any companies who are going to be going to SxSW. From what I understand, there was a meeting about it in Montreal today. I am trying to get some more information and will post back what I can find.

A bunch of us from b5media will be down there.  I still don’t know if I’ll be going or not.  Been doing a lot of traveling already this year, but even if I’m not there here are some of the official Canadian representatives heading down there:

Official Canadian delegates presenting at SXSW include Kris Krug from Raincity Studios, Steve Bocska from Hothead Games, Jennifer Ouano from Elastic Entertainment, Ron Thiele from Xpan Interactive, and Keith Clarkson from Xenophile Media.

Hmm, now I wonder if I should give me MP a call…
