Mark and Bob Ledrew (or OtherBob as Mark calls him) will be guests of Thursday Special Blend, the Thursday morning radio show of Carleton University’s CKCU radio station. You can listen in on 93.1FM in Ottawa and ckcufm.com online.
At long last, here are the final speaking session announcements:
Adele McAlear will deliver a unique, made-for-PAB2010 version of her Death and Digital Legacy presentation. Adele will raise issues surrounding the lack of global infrastructure to manage online identities and digital assets.
Mike Tennant, co-creator of CBC’s Age of Persuasion (and co-author of the book of the same name), will deliver our Saturday keynote on the role of creative in the new age of media (traditional and digital) and how journalists, producers and community leaders can explore creative to build audiences.
We will be announcing workshops in the next few days.

We’re closing in on having a full speaking program. That means we can start considering JOLT! submissions as early as next week — stay tuned!
We are pleased to announce another three confirmed sessions.
Lawyer Tamir Israel of CIPPIC will present on the Canadian Supreme Court’s “Responsible Communication” ruling of December 2009. The ruling is cutting edge because it provides an acceptable defense to defamation actions against both journalists and bloggers.
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders‘ Director of Communications Avril Benoît will talk about how the independent humanitarian organization harnesses social media to engage the global public.
CBC Journalist Kady O’Malley will speak about about the crossroads of traditional and digital media relevance and how strong media brands (both personal and mainstream) are able to succeed in the digital age.
One of the social and networking highlights for the last three PABs has been the boat cruise. Being surrounded by water for two hours offers a great opportunity for PABsters to get to know each other, showcase their musical and slam poetry talents at the open mic and include their partners and children in a weekend during which they are otherwise orphaned by social media geekdom.
This year’s boat cruise is taking place from 8pm-10pm, Saturday June 19. All PAB2010 registrants, their partners and children are invited to join us (please let us know if you plan to bring anyone along). It’s all part of the conference fee!
The Lord Elgin is filling up for the weekend of PAB. While we have 50 rooms available to us at the amazing PAB2010 group rate that weekend, rooms with two queen-sized beds are apparently popular and are coming up in short supply.
If you want a room with two queen-sized beds, you’d better book your room soon!
Stay up to date on PAB2012
..and be sure to listen to the
the offical podcast of PAB. As the conference approaches, this is the show to listen to get updates, ideas and learn about the people and places you’ll see at PAB.
