Speakers

Speaker submissions for Northern Voice 2010 are now open--submit your talk today. Please take a few seconds to scan this information first! Note that the deadline for submissions is March 9, 2010.

Venue	UBC
Session Types	We intend to divide the day between presentations and discussion sessions. The presentations will be traditional seminars, with one or more speakers speaking on a particular aspect of social media and personal publishing/communication. The time will usually be 30 minutes, although we might allocate a bit longer to some topics if we think they need it.
Suggested Topics	How To -- e.g. blogging 101; taking your blogging / podcasting / videoblogging to the next level; the ever-popular don't-get-sued legal panel; what to do about nasty comments or online harassers Educational -- e.g. lifelong learning through social media; how social media is changing education Social networking -- e.g. Facebook tips; myspace design; flickr group dynamics; the many uses for Twitter; other online communities (Ravelry, Ning, ...) Current social media trends -- e.g. location-based social networks; privacy online; web-based activism; children online These are just suggestions. If your topic doesn't fall within them, don't worry about it. Northern Voice isn't a business-oriented conference, and our audience is not interested in business or corporate topics (at least, while they're at Northern Voice they aren't). This means that we don't take business-oriented talks. Making money off your website incidentally is interesting to this audience, having it as the website goal is a subject better submitted at another conference or venue.
Audience	A broad cross-section of people interested in blogging and social media, from beginner to advanced. Individual room capacity varies from over 100 to under 50, so let us know whether you think you prefer a big room or a small room.
Notification	Submission selections take place in March. All submitters will be notified by email whether or not their session was selected. If you're selected, you get free registration to the conference. If you've already bought a ticket and then are selected, we'll refund your money (but remind us in case we don't connect all the dots for everyone).
