Conferences at 8 am are definitely too early. We didn't wake up at the time we wanted to but we made it just in time to catch the opening remarks. Although we had to skip breakfast,
Megan did run to Starbucks and got me wild sweet orange tea which tastes like the orange flavoured cough syrup I've had in my childhood.
The first keynote by
Julie Leung is about the importance of story telling in blogs and how to do so effectively. I'm always amazed by Julie's presentation that breaks away from the typical lecture style and gives us a rich blend of stories and photos. The first time I heard her speak was at Gnomedex about the masks we wear on our blogs and I'm glad I got a chance to hear her again. Good choice by Northern Voice to let Julie start up the day.
