Here’s the “secret” about Northern Voice, and why I love it so much: it seems like a big conference, but it’s not. It’s just a few people who have stuff they’ve learned that they want to share with each other. We have some amazing speakers, people who talk at much bigger conferences, talking in an intimate way about their passions. And we have new folks, who have never been at a podium before, making stellar presentations on things that change their own lives and inspire audience members to speak the next year.
