Northern Voice 2006 has just been announced. This was a big thing for Vancouver, and blogging, last year, and promises to do the same this year.

Ianiv & I made our official “entry” into the blogosphere there - we had just launched a new design, and our blog was getting picked up from our live event blogging. We met a whole bunch of bloggers, locally and from abroad, and really started to get immersed in the whole blogosphere.

So, now that Ianiv & I are both working in blogging full-time, and have both joined Qumana, we’ll be going back less as newbies and more as leaders in the industry. It’s a really crazy chain of events, but it’s been great.

What is Northern Voice?

Northern Voice is a community-based blogging and personal publishing conference that started in February, 2005. This year’s conference will take place on Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11, 2006 at UBC’s downtown campus.Twice the Fun

The Saturday will be the traditional panels and speakers, but the Friday will take a more casual spin with Moose Camp. I love that the schmoozing day comes before the conference day - it sets a different stage for the conference and should make for a more interactive conference altogether.

It’s probably the cheapest conference around. $30 per day or $50 for both days. Plus, you get to come to Vancouver, which is even better ;)

They are still seeking speakers (hopefully you’ll see me there) and panelists, as well as other sponsors (Qumana is stepping up for that).

So, go to Northern Voice. And we’ll meet you there :)
