Canada at SXSW

CNW Group: "The Canada Stand will function as business and meeting centre at SXSW's music trade show. The stand will house meeting areas, display areas, a message centre and a resource centre for all things Canadian. The Canadian BBQ, the essential jump-start to the Canadian experience at SXSW, will be held on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, from 3 to 7p.m. in Brush Square Park. Partners are looking to reap individual benefit from the strong unified presence of Canadians at SXSW and from the multi-faceted outreach of the Canadian Blast programme. A record number of over 400 Canadian registrants will attend SXSW this year. 'I have come to rely on my yearly trips to SXSW to reconnect with those industry friends that remain active and to meet new players in the new game,' says Toronto management company Bumstead Productions president Larry Wanagas. 'This is an invaluable opportunity to connect with people from around the world, present our clients to the world, and to see bands from everywhere.'"
