Refresh Events encourages collaborative partnerships, fosters education at all skill levels and creates networking opportunities within Toronto's digital media industry.
Yesterday evening, we held the 15th installment of our monthly gatherings at The Drake Hotel. The topical focus of the event was using Twitter as a customer engagement platform.

Our next event is coming up, and it’s shaping up to be an interesting one!
Mark Kuznicki will be joining us to talk briefly about the Toronto Open Data Lab, taking place Monday, November 2nd, 2009, from 1:00 – 4:30pm at the City Hall Council Chamber and Members Lounge.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore the first datasets to be released to the public from Toronto’s open data program. Facilitated by ChangeCamp organizer Mark Kuznicki, this is a unique opportunity that organizers hope will generate much interest and spark some ideas for new applications that will demonstrate the kind of value that open data can create for the City government and the community at large.

We’d like to thank our amazing speakers Tim Scollick, Ben Vinegar, Joshua Wehner, and Colin Bowern, as well as all our attendees for coming out on a rainy Monday evening. For the second consecutive month, over 50 of attendees were new faces, which makes us very happy. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
We’ve posted the presentation decks online, including the audio for Colin’s presentation. Unfortunately, GarageBand had crashed during the first half of our gathering, so all the audio for the other presentations was lost.
Episode 6 of the StayFresh podcast will be available shortly. Stay tuned!
