There’s a big reason TWG has been attending LeanCoffeeTO for 1 year…

It’s not only for the Lean…
It’s certainly not for the Coffee…

It’s all about the TO!

For TWG, LeanCoffee has been about the trusted relationships we’ve uncovered.
I’m talking about the intelligent, driven, passionate, GOOD PEOPLE we get to debate business issues with each week, and learn from all year.

Today was a great reminder of how much we’ve gained in the past 12 months, as we all reminisced about the past year of lean, and deliberated our hopes for the year to come. It wasn’t too heavy, just a bunch of leanists drinking mimosas on a rooftop, celebrating the past and getting eager for what’s to come.

We look forward to another 52 weeks of 8am congregations. We look forward to making friends with more of Toronto’s brightest entrepreneurs. And of course, we look forward to being challenged and inspired by this vibrant community of thinkers and doers.

Thank you #LeanCoffeeTO.

PS – In case you missed Day 1 of Lean Week, checkout the recap from MyCityLives. And please join us for more Lean Week tomorrow at BigBangTechnology, Thursday at Jet Cooper, and Friday at BNOTIONS.

TWG is a digital agency of thinkers, designers, coders, and friends – lovingly crafting the internet since 2002.

We’ve partnered with TEDxToronto since year one because it personally reminds and inspires us to keep looking forward, and to keep getting better. Like TEDxTO, TWG works with people that want to bring great ideas into existence – that’s what excites us the most.

This year’s TEDxTO theme ‘redefinition’ resonates particularly well because we sense a paradigm shift happening within internet technology. We see the ‘internet’ continuing to be the primary information ‘network’, however we also expect the channels through which it is exposed and accessed to change radically in the next five years. PC-based ‘Web’ will be supplanted by mobile, tablet, console, and transmedia experience. If redefinition means changing our understanding and thus relationships to existing things, then we’re about to see that happen with the internet.

Redefinition is a challenge that every creative individual faces in their life; and in their career. So thank you TEDxToronto for inspiring and helping redefine TWG’s creativity.

Dom & Andrés talk TEDxTO in last year’s sponsor video:

Produced by: TheBizMedia.com

We <3 nerds, and we <3 the Toronto dev community, so on August 25th we hosted our second #nerdlearn panel. Since mobile is the future, we wanted to discuss what the future of mobile dev is with some respected members of the Toronto mobile dev community.

Jeremy Bower, Pearl Chen, and Jeff Zakrzewski did an amazing job describing mobile development today, and speculating on what the future will bring. They also tackled some tough questions thrown out by our amazing audience.

Jon Lim put his videography skills to good use the night of #nerdlearn:

We had some great conversation,

lots of audience participation,

and the necessities of all good dev events: mingling, beer, and pizza.

A huge thank you to our panelists and audience members, we can’t wait to have you back for the next one!
