MovieSet™ is proud to announce that it was selected as one of KPMG Backbone PICK 20 winners. KPMG and Backbone magazine identified MovieSet™ as one of Canada’s top 20 up and coming Web 2.0 companies.
Winners were selected by a well regarded group of industry practitioners and pundits from a diverse range of professional experiences, including academia, marketing, public relations, corporate communications, venture capital and e-commerce.
"Few foresaw the immense impact the worldwide web would have on the way we do business today, and I suspect that Web 2.0 technologies are going to add yet another dimension that will further alter the workplace as we know it," said Jonathan Kallner, National Industry Leader for KPMG's Information, Communications and Entertainment industry. "We are excited to have this opportunity to collaborate with Backbone on this initiative and we congratulate all the PICK20 Winners on their achievements."
PICK20 winners will be formally recognized in Vancouver at the Wosk Centre on Sept 16th 2008, and in Toronto during TorontoTechWeek at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Sept 22nd, 2008. At these events award recipients and PICK20 judges will participate in a lively panel discussion about the future of Web 2.0 in Canada which will be moderated by Backbone's editor Peter Wolchak.
