Last  month, a few of us (entrepreneur Michael Mcderment, lawyer Rob Hyndman, Globe  & Mail journalist Mathew Ingram and marketing whiz Stuart Macdonald, who started Expedia.ca) got together to talk about blogging and all the cool things happening within the Web 2.0 world. After awhile, someone brought up all the interesting conferences happening such as Northern Voice, Les Blogs and LIFT - and why there wasn't something like this going on in Toronto. Well, one thing led to another and we've decided to have a conference in early-May in Toronto. Why such a rash decision? Well, we're enthusiastic bloggers and we're excited about the idea of an event where people can get a better understanding of the impact the blogosphere is having on the media, P.R./marketing, business/finance and politics/society. We haven't got a cool name yet but we have been busy lining up keynotes, panelists and moderators. We're hoping to capture the same kind of enthusiasm, spirit and interactivity as other conferences and local events such as BarCamp and TorCamp. To make sure the conference flows with conversation and ideas, it would be great if the community can help us with suggestions about ideas/topics they would like to see on the schedule, tips on what worked well at other events, and some of the pitfalls we need to avoid. We're really excited about this event because it's important to get together, learn and exchange ideas. There will be more details to follow in the next few weeks.
