Since the inception of the Web, it has been seen not just as a platform for peddling pornography, or perhaps 
worse, advertising, but rather as a means to bring many people together.  During the Arab Spring in the Middle 
East and the SOPA “blackout” in the US, people began to realize just how powerful the Web was for bringing 
people together and achieving societal changed.  This panel will look at several aspects of the Web as platform 
got social action including political movements, Open Government, the democratization of the Web, and the use 
of the Web as a means for spreading “memes” to raise consciousness and increase awareness in society.

ABOUT MONTREAL
Montréal combines modern facilities and attractions with old world charm.  Set in spectacular surroundings, 
between Mount Royal and the mighty St.Lawrence River, the upbeat downtown area and the Old Montréal — and 
it’s adjoining Old Port — are alive with major international festivals and events, exquisite fine dining, high style 
shopping and reputed nightlife.  Montréal is without a doubt the liveliest city in Canada and one of the loveliest 
on the continent. With open spaces galore, the happy mix between big city glitz and nature park settings is per-
fect for tourists who like to stay in shape while visiting. 
There is this joie de vivre that permeates the city and gives it a leisurely atmosphere that visitors absolutely 
cannot resist.  Rated by the AAA as North America’s gourmet capital, you can choose between some 4,900 restau-
rants, bistros and sidewalk cafés.  You may want to shop in fashionable boutiques on elegant Crescent or Sher-
brooke streets or in the fascinating 30 km web of the Underground City, or decide to take in some of the major 
venues such as the fabulous Casino, the Olympic Park or history-filled Old Montréal.  After all, Montréal was 
named top cycling town in North America (Bicycling magazine) and the second trendiest city on the continent, 
after South Beach Florida, (Shape magazine).
