If you were interested in speaking at Canada’s coolest blogging conference, the deadline to get your submission in is approaching fast. You have until Dec. 10 to submit your panel or session pitch, just head to this page to do it. Go now!
Noerth Voice is a personal blogging conference in its 4th year. It regularly sells out, it’s in a great location, and it reaches some of the most influential online folks in Vancouver and Western Canada. Though some of the speakers are experts or professionals, many others of the speakers are ordinary folks doing something cool with their blogs, their Web sites, their social networks, their classrooms—people like you.
Even if you’re not 100% certain that your topic is going to be the best session in the batch, we want you and encourage you to submit. We can figure out what’s going to work well together and make a great conference, but we need your submission to give us the best ingredients to work with!
Also, if you could pass the word along on your blog, in your Twitter feed, etc. etc., we’d appreciate it.
“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
