Podcamp Boston: Sept 9-10

chrisbrogan · June 25, 2006 ·

Sept 9-10, 2006


Podcamp Boston will be held on September 9th and 10th, 2006, in a venue to-be-named in Boston, accessible by public transportation, and readily reachable via the train. Podcamp is FREE to attend. Accomodations are being worked out such that we can offer a “camping” option. If people would like hotel accommodations, come to the website and we’ll work out a deal with a hotel.
What’s the Deal
Podcamp is a free unconference in the tradition of BarCamp. People register at the website (group password is: nepod), and then we like to get everyone to participate in some form or another.
That’s the difference with an unconference. In these events, the attendees are also the experts. Sessions get organized on the fly the morning of the event, and there are all kinds of ways to participate: hold a 30 minute session or demo, a 5 minute lightning talk, or participate in a panel discussion. Join an informal round table talk, participate in podcasting demos and actual live podcasts as well!
Free refreshments, including meals, will be served throughout the day.
Who Should Attend
Podcamp is for people interested in new media. Bloggers, podcasters, vloggers are who the conference serves best. If you’re interested in doing something with new media, you’ll want to attend. Are you a school or library wondering how to incorporate podcasting into projects and community events? Are you a corporation wondering why you should be involved? Are you a venture group thinking about whether to invest in this new media space? You’ll soon learn.
What Kinds of Sessions are There?
Remember, this is YOUR conference. If you sign up and prepare a session, YOUR knowledge is on display. But here are some starter sessions we’re already sure to offer:

  • Panel Discussion – Podcast Formats
  • Content Networks are the new blogs.
  • Podcasting and Guerrilla Marketing
  • Podcasting with Garageband -all the crap Apple didn’t bother to tell you about
  • Corporate Podcasting – being the mouthpiece of a company for fun and profit
  • Video Podcasting with iMovie
  • Podcasting for Business – Beyond Adsense.
  • Audio Drama Podcasts: Producing and Acting Tips

And those are just the ones people have signed on to do so far. Other sessions we want YOU to tell us about are:

  • Video Podcasts, Vlogging –
  • Gear Sharing/Discussing
  • Portable Rigs and Techniques
  • Meet the Band (talk with a podsafe band)
  • Music Podshows
  • Mashup Cast- a live podcast demo with more than one show!
  • Teaching through Technology – Podcasts and Education
  • Interviewing techniques
  • Phone interviews
  • Acoustics and audio engineering basics for dummies
  • Power listening – how to manage and listen to as many great podcasts as possible
  • Podsearch – how do you find great podcasts?

We Need You
We want you to register at podcamp.org (pw: nepod). Please sign on and let us know that you can attend, that you can participate in either one of the sessions we’ve listed above, or in something you want to tell the rest of us about.
We Need Sponsors
Because it’s a free conference, and because costs are fairly scaled back, it’s not like we need a gazillion dollars. Instead, we’re asking for supplies, tee shirt sponsors, small cash donations, meal sponsorships, and the like. You can read more about it at our Sponsors page. Anything you can do to help would be great. And, uh, we’re still working on a venue (few options still pending).
We Need Evangelists!
Steal this logo! Please link us up at your podcast or technology site. If you want a different sized banner, just ask. We want to get people interested in podcasting and new media to attend, and for that, we need your help.
Please come to PodCamp to sign up, attend, help, sponsor, or get more information.
And thanks.
