I wrote this fall that Montreal will host one of the most anticipated international conferences of the year on creativity in business. Since then, the event has continued to increase in scale.

The Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation announced today that they will be giving 25 emerging entrepreneurs a chance to be part of the C2-MTL international business conference from May 22 to 25, 2012. The most dynamic and creative Québec entrepreneurs will be selected through a competition.

The 25 entrepreneurs selected by the Foundation will have the opportunity to personally meet some of the high-profile speakers who will be appearing at the conference. They will join other attendees at original events designed to expand their creativity and their minds, presented by Cirque du Soleil, Dreamworks Animation, Google and others. They will also take part in the discussions and workshops, side-by-side with some of the greatest thinkers and doers in the world of commerce and creativity.

It is truly a rare opportunity that is available to entrepreneurs here who want to give their business projects international visibility and build relationships with the world’s most influential business leaders.

Québec entrepreneurs who have been in business for three years or less can enter the contest by filling out the online form at C2MTL.com by March 21, 2012. The 25 winners will be selected by an expert jury named by the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation.

Help me raise the awareness of this wonderful initiative by sharing the contest link. We are searching for the best emerging companies to demonstrate how innovation and creativity shine in Quebec.
