Startup Camp Montreal Language Policy
The language policy of Startup Camp Montreal is simple, and reflects Montreal’s bilingual heritage and cosmopolitan nature. Some of the attendees will not be from Montreal and may not speak French. However, individual speakers are permitted to present in either of the official languages in which they are most comfortable. It would be appreciated if any handouts and notes provided are in both official languages, though not required.
