PlaceSpeak’s Colleen Hardwick on Women in Emerging Technology [V2R]

On April 18, 2013, PlaceSpeak CEO, Colleen Hardwick was invited to speak at PWC Canada‘s ‘Vison to Reality’ (V2R) Conference in Toronto, Ontario.

V2R is PWC’s premier event for emerging Canadian technology companies. Leading entrepreneurs and innovators—including Colleen—took the stage in a series of insightful and inspirational talks. The conference provided a great opportunity to forge new relationships and meet new potential business partners and fellow founders. This year’s event also featured a keynote address by Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of Flickr.

Here is a video clip that was recorded during the event, focusing on women in technology, including Colleen:
