The Maple Leaf Digital Lounge at SXSW Interactive

The Maple Leaf Digital Lounge (MLDL) is a pioneering event to be held during the Interactive portion of the 2011 South by Southwest Conference (SXSW) with the intent to highlight and promote innovative Canadian companies to the attendees of the SXSW conference (mainly professionals from the marketing, web development, mobile, software development, social media, gaming, digital media and venture capital industries).

We are creating a cluster of Canadian technology that will be promoted at this event. This is a unique concept and Canada is the only country to host a lounge at this conference. It will act as a catalyst in promoting Canadian innovation to a large technology & media audience.

The MLDL will feature Canada’s top interactive digital media technology companies from the following industries: social media, mobile, marketing, multi-media, game development, web development or any related IT areas. At the event, each company will have a table set up/booth to showcase their technology over a two-day period.
