Speaker Information

Venue	UBC Forestry Sciences Centre
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 weblogs and personal publishing. 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 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 Current social media topics -- e.g. microblogging with twitter, jaiku, etc.; online activism 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).
Audience	A broad cross-section of people interested in blogging and social media, from beginner to advanced. Individual room capacity is approximately 50 people.
Notification	Submission selections take place in early January. All submitters will be notified by email whether or not their session was selected.
