Once again, Northern Voice is offering six travel bursaries of CAN $500 each. The organizing committee will be awarding these bursaries based on a number of criteria, including:
The deadline for submissions is April 1st, 2010 (no joke), and we will be announcing the recipients shortly afterward. The bursaries will be paid out via cheque mailed out to recipients or picked up at the conference.
To apply for a bursary, we ask that you write a blog post, or record a podcast or video blog post describing why you want to come to Northern Voice. We suggest you address the criteria above as well. Once you’ve published your post, let us know by pasting the URL in the comments field below.
Just a quick reminder that speaker submissions close at (if you want to be precise) 23:59 PST on Tuesday, March 9. That leaves just about 49 and a half hours to submit your awesome talk for Northern Voice.
Also, a reminder that Northern Voice isn't a business or marketing conference--there are plenty of those already. We're interested in the personal, the political and cultural when it comes to social media.
Avoid disappointment! Submit your talk toute de suite.
The Northern Voice opening night party will be held on Thursday, May 6, 2010. Be sure to mark your calendars as it's always a great time to catch up with old friends and to meet other conference attendees! We're still working out the party details, but we'll announce them soon. We'll be sure to give you a heads up before party tickets go on sale by announcing it here on the blog and on Twitter. If you purchase conference tickets, we'll email you a few days beforehand. Looking forward to seeing you in May!
We're now accepting speaker submissions for Northern Voice 2010! Before submitting, please take a few minutes and review the Speakers page, which will give you a sense of what we're looking for. If you haven't attended the conference before, it's also worth checking out last year's schedule, to get a sense of the kind of sessions we've run in the past.
In thinking about your session, remember that Northern Voice isn't a business or marketing conference--there are plenty of those already. We're interested in the personal, the political and cultural when it comes to social media.
The deadline for submissions is noon on March 9, so don't dilly-dally. Or tarry. And definitely don't lollygag.
In case you're wondering, we'll be opening up registration for the conference later on in February--so keep an eye on this site or our Twitter feed for details.
Hey, everyone. Us planners here at Northern Voice are grateful for your patience while we weather the 2010 Olympics this year. We decided it was best to not hold the conference in the middle of the Winter Games. But, this coming May - look for us on May 7th and 8th, 2010.
Information is still being written up and debated and whatnot so keep checking back as the weeks go on.
Again, thanks for making each conference amazing and this year won't be any different - except for the date.
PS: The colour this year is, you guessed it, orange.
