WordCamp Whistler 2009

We were very please with the location and the accommodations, while the attendance, input, insights, and presentations exceeded expectations. We definitely look forward to doing this again next year.

You can read the live notes on the WordCamp Whistler website that John setup and I also have a few day blogs up on Miss604.com.

Tonight great and curious minds will be gathering at the Vancouver Rowing Club for the first, Interesting Vancouver event which, “is a multi-disciplinary conference for and by the curious and creative minds of Vancouver. Speakers come from a host of backgrounds such as sciences, academia, marketing, technology, art, and more.”

There is a line up of 15 speakers and I have the pleasure of running the live blog tonight in case you are looking for notes later on. As this is also sold out, check out Miss604.com for the coverage if you are unable to attend.
