Come connect with Canada!
The Canadian Government and the Canadian Interactive Alliance are pleased to be the organizers of Canada’s official delegation to SXSW Interactive this year - we have some fantastic activities to tell you about!
First, FreshBooks would like to treat you to some True North-style hospitality on Saturday, March 8, with a free breakfast in the parking lot of Carmelo’s (504 E. 5th Street, one short block north of the Austin Convention Center) from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Come on out and sample some real maple syrup as well as Canada’s most treasured national secret, Tim Hortons coffee.
Then, on Monday, March 10, don’t miss our “Blame Canada” panel, taking place at 10:00 a.m. in Room C. Some of Canada’s biggest names in interactive media will share their thoughts on why Canadians are globally-minded, polite to excess and have a hard time pronouncing the “oo” sound without making Americans crack up. Moderated by Raincity Studio’s Kris Krug and featuring Elastic Entertainment’s Jennifer Ouano, Keith Clarkson of Xenophile Media, Steve Bocska of Cambrian House/GWABS, and Ron Thiele of Xpan Interactive, this panel is sure to make you laugh, cry a little bit (with laughter), and leave you with a greater sense of what your neighbors to the North are up to.
Finally, we have a booth located at the back of the Trade Show & Exhibition floor, between aisles 300 and 400 (between Vidoop and Stickam). Come by, say hi and learn more about the 20 firms we’re proudly showcasing at South By Southwest Interactive.
Hope to see you there!

Hi David, we have a few film producers who’ll likely be attending, namely Eyesteel Films and Xenophile Media. If you’d like to arrange a meeting with either, please email me at james AT ciaic.ca and I’ll try to make it happen. Thanks, James

Hey Canadians,
I’m thinking of renting ice at a rink 10 minutes from the conf for a game of pickup on Sunday night from 10-12.
Will you guys bring your stuff and play?
