Northern Voice 2007

This is a topic that arose among the organizers recently--should NV have an entry in Wikipedia? We think so, but of course, we're biased. BloggerCon has an entry, and I figure we're as notable as that conference.

Of course, because of our bias as organizers, we shouldn't create such an entry. You, on the other hand, can, if you think the conference merits such an entry.

If you're going to do so, you'll need some background and verifiable third-party references. Voila:

• Initial post on starting Northern Voice back in March, 2004, including a survey of interest level.
• Results of that survey.
• Previous versions of the conference site from 2005 and 2006.
• Photos from Northern Voice.

You'll need some mainstream media references, to demonstrate notability:

• “Companies take online journals to heart”, Vancouver Sun, Feb. 18, 2005 (behind a subscription wall)
• “The Blogosphere’s New World Disorder”, The Tyee, Feb. 21, 2005
• CBC Morning Show Interview, Feb. 18 (MP3)

There's definitely more coverage--I just don't have it easily at hand.

If you do decide to create an entry, drop us a line via the contact page.

NorthernVoice 2007 takes place on February 24, 2007, at the Forest Sciences Centre, UBC, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The street address is 2424 Main Mall, Vancouver.
