One of the reasons I like going to Northern Voice is that it always gives me lots to think about, in terms of what to write about on my blog, what technical tricks to try out, and how to write better. Other people choose their blogiversary, or maybe New Year’s Day, but I find Northern Voice to be better. One reason of course is the number of enthusiastic people there talking about blogging and social media and how they use them.
All of which is a long way of saying that this year I’ll be looking for more of that spark, that enthusiasm in the speaker submissions. What talks will make me happy to be blogging, will give me incentive to make my blog better, will tell me of interesting things to try? What talks would make me want to start blogging, if I weren’t already? The deadline is Monday, December 10th, so you don’t have long to polish those ideas (and we can’t take late submissions as we’re selecting talks that same week and we do need to read them first). For other views on what we’re looking for, check out Darren’s posting, or Brian’s. Brian also has some photos of the party spot for the Thursday evening as an added incentive to go there and read what he has to say. Once you’re ready, submit your idea while it’s fresh and before you forget.
