MONTREAL, April 16 2014 /CNW/ - C2MTL 2014 is delighted to celebrate a newly-signed global partnership with devices and services provider Microsoft. Together, Microsoft, C2MTL, Sid Lee and Cirque du Soleil will be the driving force behind a collective effort to find creative solutions to commercial questions, connecting the best people with the best ideas.
Because C2MTL and Microsoft believe business as usual is no longer an effective paradigm, they are uniting to create a ground-breaking collective experience at C2MTL, where business decision makers will workshop and brainstorm the blueprint to organizational agility in immersive environments true to the event's signature concept.
As the creative sparks fly, the newly engaged community will then migrate online, where the Microsoft Yammer social enterprise platform will become the global incubator for a new way of redefining business paradigms.
"In the business world, change is the only certainty. As Microsoft undergoes its own transformation, we seek to engage the global business community in an open dialogue where we will all join forces in search of greater organizational agility", said Christian Frei, Microsoft's CMO for Western Europe.
"Creativity is fundamentally a leadership skill", said C2MTL CEO Benoit Berthiaume. "I am thrilled by this unique opportunity for C2MTL to engage in a year-round conversation with business leaders, and all this in partnership with an innovative technology firm like Microsoft."
