OUR THEME FOR 2017 Ecosystems This year, building on our 2016 theme, The Many, we will explore the evolution of the complex Ecosystems we live in. First up: gaming powerhouse Jade Raymond (EA) and the inventor who connected us to the digital world, Steve Wozniak. Here are some of the questions we will be exploring: How do you develop talent in evershifting business environments? What s the new role of the marketer in increasingly complex ecosystems? How do we reinvent entertainment as the behaviour of the audience evolves? How do we rethink and redesign cities as living organisms? Where will the next moonshot come from? What s the next leap for mankind? As ever, we ll be calling in thought leaders and game changers to help shake us up and spark the conversation.

C2: Born and raised in Montréal C2 was created in Montréal, and that is no coincidence. Montréal is a place where culture and high technology intersect, which makes it a natural hub for creativity and innovation. Montréal mixes cultures and languages, bridges America and Europe, flirts with the old and the new. Similarly, C2 is a blend of influences, a cross between disciplines, a hybrid creature that pulls together divergent trends to turn them into exciting opportunities.
Making a difference C2 Montréal is a notforprofit organization. 2016 Our mission is to break boundaries and bring forth positive change one executive at a time. 2015 2014 Each year, the C2 community joins forces to work with our official social change partner. 2013 2012
