Getting ready for PodCamp Ireland

So have you the 29 September 2007 in your calendar yet?

Yes just 21 days to go to PodCamp Ireland and the organising team are working flat out - especially Ken who has been busy sorting out all the logistics with the hotel - I won’t get into it here but he has had a major challenge on his hands with a refurbishment being announced just a week ago at the hotel we are using.

Bernie has been equally busy connecting with sponsors.

Without them both, PodCamp Ireland would not be taking place. Thanks guys.

Yesterday we had a planning meeting and we have decided to host seveal content streams which we believe will cover the kinds of areas you are all interested in hearing about.

Over the next few weeks we will be writing blog posts and we will also have a few podcasts for you to listen to covering the types of topics we hope people will speak about.

So here are the streams:

• Audio and video podcasts
• Blogging
• Building communities through social media
• Music and design/artwork connected to social media.

We’re planning content from those completely new to social media through to technical content for the advanced among you.

So what do we need from you?

1. Make sure you register for PodCamp Ireland
2. Please tell a friend and bring them with you - social media is after all about building communities
3. Register here on this site or at the wiki to say you are coming - we need numbers to plan catering
4. Consider speaking at the event - remember I have offered to support you if you are a little nervous about doing so. You will be amongst friends and I can guarantee that everyone who comes to events like PodCamps are really supportive. And if you would prefer not to list your details at the Wiki until you have spoken to someone, feel free to connect to one of the organising team and you can even phone me or email me.

Remember this event is for you - so we’d love your input.
