THE SECRET TO A ZERO-BOREDOM CONFERENCE: PROPOSE A SESSION TOPIC (OR TWO)!

JUST 18 DAYS UNTIL NETSQUARED CAMP VANCOUVER

We’ve all been to conferences with yawn-worthy sessions on topics that are totally irrelevant – or simply uninteresting. We want NetSquared Camp to be the complete opposite of that. Here’s a simple way to guarantee that your NetSquared Camp experience is as un-boring as possible: Add your session ideas to our wiki! It only takes a minute, and gives you a chance to share your ideas with other attendees before the event so we can all get an idea of what everyone’s interested in.

Editing is easy – you don’t even need to create an account!

Go here: http://netsquaredcampvancouver.wikispaces.com/Session+proposals

P.S. Don’t worry if your idea’s only half-formed – sharing your burning questions, biggest challenges, and/or areas of expertise can be helpful starting points.
