On April 6th & 7th the first (hopefully annual) Podcamp Conference will take place in NYC. It is free to attend, and with attendees from around the world, participating in over 90 sessions, it promises to be venue for interesting discussions that will direct the viral impact and future of this new technology.
There's some very compelling reasons to attend. But I wonder if the free registration, food & tshirt is enough of an insentive for some of my favorite bloggers to attend? [She says expectantly as shelooks over at her blogroll.]
I will be there in spirit!

Posted by: wRitErsbLock at March 7, 2007 11:24 AMDo you have to know how to podcast to attend?
Posted by: oddybobo at March 7, 2007 12:48 PMI'm travelling today so limited access to all email.
Oddy: Nope, you don't need to have podcasting experience or even the technology. Right now discussions will be geared by and for those who use it. I have requested at least one session be geared to newbies. However, they are planning on linking the podcasts to each session after the conference, so you need not travel to the sessions to learn. You will, however, need to register for the conference in order to be able to access the podcasts.
Over the next few weeks I'll be posting articles/links to info on how to plan, start using and adding podcasting features for your site.
BTW, I have figured out a cheap easy way to do a podcast. Let me know if you are interested.
Posted by: vw bug at March 7, 2007 02:55 PMHmmm, I'm beginning to think that perhaps we can do a blogger's round-up where those in the know teach the kids that don't know.
What say you guys, are you interested?

Posted by: Dazd at March 7, 2007 04:37 PMSince I'm going to Milblog in May - I just can't do this right now. *sigh* I'm not into podcasting except for being a listener - I prefer print for my own blogging. But I hope everyone has fun.
