The second FacebookCamp Toronto — a gathering for local techies interested in developing Facebook applications — takes place next Tuesday, October 9th, at the MaRS Centre (101 College Street, a stone’s throw from Queen’s park subway station). I was at the first FaceBookCamp Toronto, and if you’d like to see my notes, they’re here.
Speakers will include:
- Ami Vora (Corporate Communications, Developer PR) from Facebook Inc., flying in from Palo Alto
- Janice Diner (Creative Director) and Michael Scissons (Director of National Sales) from Segal Communications
- Geoffrey B. Roche (President) from Lowe Roche
The last FacebookCamp was quite tech-heavy — the one, while still aimed at developing applications, will be more focused on the business, marketing, branding and promotional aspects. Here’s the schedule:
- 6:00 – Social/Mingling
- 6:30 – Intro – update from last FBCT (Roy Pereira / Colin Smillie /Andrew Cherwenka)
- 6:35 – High level presentation on platform and best-practices (Ami Vora – Facebook Inc.)
