Thanks to all the feedback we received about the Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast, and the help of Heri and Tanya, we’ve resurrected the breakfast event for tomorrow.

This is a bit last minute, but with the help of Heri and Tanya we’re going to be much more organized for future breakfasts.

You can sign-up to participate tomorrow on the Facebook Event. Please RSVP if you have a couple minutes; that’s going to help others figure out who will be there, and who they might want to interact with.

A few notes:

• The event is being held at Bistro, Etc. (same as always) but we will find a new place for September.
• We’ve changed the start time - it’s now 8am (instead of 9am) - but this is an informal event, so come whenever you want, and leave whenever you want.
• I don’t think we’ll have anything else officially organized (name tags, etc.) but we’ll have time to plan for September.

To stay up-to-date on the event, check out our Facebook Group and keep an eye on Montreal Tech Watch. Tanya’s also got a wiki in the works that she’ll be posting about shortly.

So tomorrow - breakfast, Bistro Etc., for entrepreneurs, techies, soon-to-be-entrepreneurs, investors, and others - 8am, I hope we’ll see you there. Click here for event details.

I instigated the first Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast over a year and a half ago because people were complaining that there was a lack of casual get-togethers for entrepreneurs, techies, investors, etc. It was straightforward to do at the time, and with the help of Sylvain Carle we got the ball rolling.

The goal was to give people a meeting time and place - in the morning (for those of us that can’t do evening events as easily) - that was casual, without presentations, to meet, catch up and encourage new people to get out and meet the community.

Over the last couple of months, things have tapered off. This is primarily because I’ve been swamped; and unable to host, run and promote the Tech Entrepreneur Breakfasts. But it was never my intention to run things, or create an event that required any significant organization to begin with … nevertheless, we’ve seen participation drop off.

With Heri’s help at Montreal Tech Watch we’ve got a great discussion going on what to do with the Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfasts.
