It's that time of year again, Web Directions North is coming back for another round. As one of the organizers of the event, I'd like to personally extend the invite to come check out this Vancouver conference in January:
http://north08.webdir...  Web Directions North is for web designers and developers (front and back end), IAs, product managers, interaction designers; essentially anyone whose job is building web sites. We're also still lining up sponsors this year, if your company is interested in sponsoring or exhibiting to a crowd of top notch creatives and developers, our sponsorship opportunities are on the site as well: http://north08.webdir... I've included information about the conference below, but please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks, and hope to see you there! -------------------------------------- -------------------Web Directions North returns for 2008 One of the world's leading conferences for web professionals, Web Directions, returns to Vancouver in late January 2008 after huge success in Vancouver Canada in early 2007, and Sydney Australia in September where attendance grew more than 50% from the previous year. http://north08.webdir...
