Twestival Video and Pics
Posted by Stephanie Miller on February 23rd, 2009
On February 12th, a handful of Do Gooders, the Daily Challenge team and a whole nest of Twitter folks descended upon the lavish digs at CiRCA for Twestival Toronto. And we rocked the T-Dot!
The scene had a magnificent, Bob Marley, feel-good vibe - and it wasn’t the shine from the free Molson beer! Everyone was smiling and networking, and many Tweeples met online Twitter friends face-to-face for the first-time!
Check it out with this 3 and a half minute video of Testival Toronto:

Satish Kanwar, one of the organizers for the highly successful event, posted the event highlights on his blog:
- Brought out more than 450 people
- Raised over $10,000 for charity: water
- Were the #2 trending topic on all of Twitter for the night
- Had free Molson beer and hung out with the Raptors girls, among lots of awesomeness
- Made it on CBC, City TV, and many other media outlets
And here’s the official Twestival TO report: http://toronto.twestival.com/2009/02/15/thank-you/
The Daily Challenge team had a blast at this event and we are honoured to have been one of the media sponsors. We can’t WAIT for the next Twitter event!
