The 2nd annual Digital Interactive Gaming conference was a great success.  Harrison Pensa was pleased to be a sponsor of this event, which attracted over 700 people. 

It featured speakers from many Canadian gaming companies, industry specialists, and post-secondary education.

The conference highlighted just how sophisticated and experienced the London gaming industry is.    For a flavour of the event, take a look at the twitter feed #dig09.

Kudos to the LEDC for a great job pulling it together.   We look forward to Dig10.

The London Free Press series  Beyond Crisis: A Free Press series exploring our region’s next economy has an article today entitled Prime Location for Changes that explores the thought that one of London’s key strengths going into the next economy is our location. 

That holds true for traditional industry - such as the Original Cakerie, which is now building a 130,000 square foot plant.  ”It’s cakes and dessert bars will be made at an Innovation Drive plant and from there roll across eastern Canada and the eastern U.S., to restaurants, grocery stores and institutions such as schools and hospitals.”

Its also true for the “next gen” economy – such as life sciences, IT, and advanced manuafacturing.
