The first ever GenY Toronto Tweetup is happening tonight at Alleycatz by Eglinton and Yonge Street at 8pm.

30 people have already RSVP’d ‘Yes’ to the event so there’s sure to be a big crowd there.

What is Gen Y? There are a few descriptions

“The Generation Y are sometimes called the “Trophy Generation”, or “Trophy Kids,” a term that reflects the trend in competitive sports (as well as many other aspects of life) where “no one loses” and everyone gets a “Thanks for Participating” trophy.” – Wikipedia

But a nicer name and description can be found on the flap of one recently released book:

“Instead of passively watching television, the “Net Geners” are actively participating in the distribution of entertainment and information… and they’re changing every aspect of our society – from the workplace to the marketplace, from the classroom to the living room, from the voting booth to the Oval Office.” – Don Tapscott, Grown Up Digital
