Bitnorth is an annual informal, eclectic gathering a bit north of Montreal.

The format is participatory: if you attend, you have to present.

The things we discuss are wide-ranging (think Barcamp-meets-TED.)

It's also fast-paced, since each presentation lasts only 10 minutes.

Bitnorth 2011 will take place on September 16-18, 2011. Watch this space for info.
