iCal-friendly Northern Voice 2009 Schedule

I’m looking forward to this weekend’s Northern Voice 2009 conference here in Vancouver, BC. Unfortunately, it looks as though I’m going to be running around a bit Friday morning and will miss some of the AM sessions.

I went looking for a copy of the conference schedule that I could load onto my iPhone, but didn’t have much luck. So, I made one. Now, keep in mind that I’ve been busy working on a big Drupal project this week and haven’t had much sleep … so I make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the calendar. That said, I hope people find this useful.

Through the magic of BusySync, I’ve also published this calendar up to Google Calendar, so I’ll provide a bunch of links/file formats below.

The Northern Voice 2009 speaker schedule has just been posted over at the official site.

No idea what’s going on at MooseCamp on the Friday, but the Saturday sessions are all listed.

I’ll be attending the Northern Voice 2009 blogging/social media conference in Vancouver this year, and I’m really looking forward to it.

Last year was my first NV conference, and it was a good time overall. I really enjoyed the MooseCamp sessions on the first day. The talks on the second day were good, but much less geeky (hey, I like geeky!). Still, a little exposure to the softer side of tech doesn’t hurt.

Another thing Northern Voice has going for it is its size. It’s a relatively small conference – this year, I think there were 300 tickets up for grabs. 300 attendees means lots of opportunity to meet people, without feeling completely overwhelmed. I’m looking forward to doing a lot more mingling this year.
