A location with no conference — yet.
Sounds like Ontario is the likely place to hold a Web Conference — at least for Canadians wanting to meet in the middle. Mr. Kim Siever over at hotpepper.ca mentioned that he has received feedback that the best place for a Canadian Web Dev and Design Conference might be in Southwestern Ontario (The Golden Horseshoe).

If designers, developers, and related consultants are out there and want to get things moving, let me know by commenting here or contacting me and spread the word, by posting announcements and links to the Calling All Canucks post to your message boards, forums, and blogs.
BTW: I have a vision that a Canadian Web Conference should include more than programming and design. The web is beyond code and image and so should be this future conference and therefore must include some aspects of marketing, writing, strategization and business.

I’ve been looking on the web for days for a seemingly legit Canadian Web Dev. conference.

If this is a go, I shall be posting this on my blog and linking it where appropriate.
**Is looking forward to this**
