Loading up your calendar with geeky goodness with another big-time event - Web Directions North 2008. Naturally, some of the Raincity Studios clan will be on the scene.

This time Vancouver technology consultant and VP of Product Development, Boris Mann is speaking about (what else?) using open CMS for sharing content. Additionally, El Presidente Kris Krug will put on this fashion and editorial photography toque as the on-site photo-maker to document the splendor of designers at work and play.

The Web Directions North line-up features a raft of speakers from hot-shot companies you've probably heard of (or should have anyhow) and includes lots of our webby pals like Citizen Agency's Tara Hunt and Chris Messina (real life and professional partners), nitobi super-hero Andre Charland, and many more making the trip to our beautiful 'burg. The event is notably taking some time to enjoy the local environs.
