Voice 2.0: Call for Demonstrators

The advertisement for the Ottawa Voice 2.0 conference hit the local paper this morning.  It looks awesome, especially since they’ve helped to give me an even more swollen head by referring to me as a “thought leader”.  That’s twice in two days!  Do you think I should run for Prime Minister next?

In any case, while talking with conference organizer Ross MacLeod yesterday, he mentioned that there were still some time spots available on the DemoCamp track.  He’s looking for people interested in doing a 7 minute product or concept demo.  It’s a great opportunity to  in front of a qualified audience, show your stuff off, explain your vision, and get some feedback.  Contact Ross directly if you’re interested.
