The DemoCampCalgary crew kicks off NextMedia Banff. One of the demos will be yycBlogs, which just went live (shameless plug, I am one of the co-creators). To see the full lineup of demos click here.
NextMedia Banff runs from June 5-7 at the Banff Fairmont Springs Hotel and includes speakers like Eric Klinker, the CEO of BitTorrent, Matthew Carpenter, the senior strategist of Google AdSense, Janet Kestin of Ogilvy Toronto and many, many more.To see a full listing of speakers click here.
The Digital Alberta BBQ happens June 11, 2009 as the digital media industry in Calgary and surrounding area celebrate the end of their program year with a shaker. Not just a BBQ there will be live music and a tour of SMART Technologies' new headquarters and research center. Space for the multiple tours is limited so you must sign-up for the tour in advance and will be assigned a timed grouping. The BBQ will be held at 5:30 PM at the Alastair Ross Technology Centre with burgers, beer and live entertainment. Admission is $15.
I'm currently working on a story on iPhone development in Calgary. If you're developing anything for the iPhone and you live in Calgary, I'd love to talk to you. You can reach me at duncankinney@gmail.com
