Red Herring to expand Canadian presence with conference

Red Herring, a well-known U.S.-based technology magazine, is extending its reach into Canada by launching a huge conference in Montreal this spring. It's part of an effort to 'globalize' content and readership.

The Red Herring Canada conference, expected to host about 700 players in digital technology and venture capital markets, is scheduled for June 13-15 in Montreal and will be modeled on the company's European Technology Roundtable Exhibition, according to vice president Farley Duvall.

Red Herring was relaunched in 2004 as both a print and online magazine, after all but disappearing in the dot-com meltdown.
