As many of my friends are active users of digital media or emerging technology, I hope that you will all consider coming to Northern Voice 2008. It started in 2005 and I attended last year and the year before.
It gets better each year, the organisers are a creative bunch and it is a great place to network and meet cool Vancouver people that are involved in a variety of cool meetup sessions such as Democamp, Launch Party, and Barcamp. We get attendees from the States and across Canada so mark the dates now.
Northern Voice is a two-day, non-profit personal blogging and social media conference that’s being held at the Forestry Sciences Centre, 2424 Main Mall, UBC main campus, Vancouver, Canada on February 22-23, 2008.
And although it is a weblog conference, the range of topics may involve anything that webloggers are interested in… that is, just about anything. Previous years have had plenty of geekery mixed with panels on how blogging interacts with family life, education, travel, photography, community building and establishing professional profiles. Speakers range from the big names at the top of the Technorati rankings to first-time presenters with a passion to share.
Cool hosts: Darren Barefoot, Kris Krüg, Brian Lamb, Cyprien Lomas, Boris Mann, Dale McGladdery, Lori Pike, James Sherret, Travis Smith, Julie Szabo, Roland Tanglao, Lauren Wood.
