There's nothing new in this, but I just needed to post it so I could point some folks at it:

The Moose is Loose: Vancouver Hosts First Canadian Weblogging Conference
Northern Voice attracts local bloggers and high-profile, international
speakers

Vancouver, BC - February 7, 2005 - Northern Voice, Canada's
first ever weblogging conference, will be hosted in Vancouver on February
19, 2005 at UBC Robson Square. Northern Voice is a conference for bloggers,
people interested in blogging and those keen to learn more about personal
publishing. The conference has attracted high-profile speakers including Microsoft
alpha-blogger Robert Scoble, CBC broadcaster Tod Maffin and 25 other local
and noted bloggers.

"We were blown away by the quality and diversity of all
of the speaker submissions, and count ourselves lucky that we had so many
to choose from," said Darren Barefoot, a Vancouver blogger and conference
organizer. "The diversity of speakers and topics we are able to offer
reflects the growing communities of bloggers across the country. In mid-2003,
there were only 125,000 blogs, today there are more than eight million."
