Northern Voice 2008

I am so happy to see the folks at Northern Voice will again hold the 2-day blogging and technology conference on February 22-23, at the main UBC campus’s Forestry Science Centre (the same location as last year). I met so many great people at that conference last year: Nancy White (finally!), Lee LeFever (finally!), Robin Yap, Arjun Singh, Kris Krug, Aidan Henry, Chris Lott, Chris Heuer, and on and on. While I am trying to stabilize my finances, I know that this past year’s conference changed the way I approach technology as more of a social and educational experience rather than a me-alone-at-my-computer one. I can’t wait to see the new promo image for this year!

PodCamp NYC 2.0

I'm going to podcamp nyc 2, feb 29 - mar 1, join meAfter the wonderful success of this past year’s successful PodCamp NYC (now re-branded as PadCamp NYC 1.0), it appears there will be another one in 2008. Listed as PodCamp NYC 2.0, this one promises to be even bigger (i.e., it is now 2 days instead of one) while still being free. This is an amazing feet, in that last year as an unconference (which had formal presentations, somewhat unconferency-like) it attracted 800 people. It is branching into Brooklyn this time, and will be held at Polytechnic University, which is in the process of formally merging (being bought?) into New York University. I know that I learned a lot last year by attending this, and while I am still not a podcaster and do not listen to many regularly, I am looking forward to learning a lot more. Hey, maybe I will podcast at some point after all!
