Blog > FacebookCampToronto Report
Last night was the super-awesome FacebookCampToronto, which kicked off at the MaRS Discovery District at 6:30pm. Colin and Roy from Refresh Partners and Andrew from Trapeze did an amazing job organizing the camp, which attracted an almost unbelievable 400+ people. Big thanks to Megan Marks, Caitlin O'Farrell, and the other Facebookers who made the trip to Toronto specifically to attend. Megan gave a great presentation right before mine, full of useful tips about how to build Facebook apps and how to get people to install them - I saw Joey DeVilla taking copious notes in the row right behind me so hopefully he'll post them soon (Joey: hint hint!).
My talk went well (The Anatomy of a Facebook Application notes, courtesy of Jordan Christensen). I got a chance to chat with our favourite Citytv reporter, Amber MacArthur, as well as our new friend Eli Glasner, National Arts Reporter for the CBC Radio News. He generously provided us with an MP3 of the interview, which is included below for your listening pleasure:

Update from Allen Gelberg, Director of the Collaboration Centre at MaRS and the man who generously donated last night's space for FacebookCampToronto:
FYI overall attendees were 453. That is 400 in the Auditorium and 53 in CR-3 where we were simulcasting into.
