I’m hoping to get the opportunity to go to the Web Directions North conference in Vancouver, BC. If I get 4 people to sign up through my site, I go for free! If you know any web designers that may be interested in going, send them my way!
“Over two days and nights in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Web Directions North is packed tight with sessions by renowned, inspiring, entertaining speakers and experts, parties and other events. The event is primarily focused around the web standards movement - the proper use of CSS and XHTML. With speakers from 5 countries complementing our Canadian contingent, Web Directions North is truly an international event. Come hear from the likes of Kelly Goto, Dan Cederholm, Joe Clark and more. Web Directions North will be held at the Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside in downtown Vancouver.”
