Last year was the first PodCampAZ. It was a lot of fun, but this year is looking like it will be even better.
Before, it was organized by Brent Spore (@iboughtamac) and his wife Michelle (@mspore). This year, they have been working with over a dozen volunteers to make sure the event scales — they’re expecting more speakers, more attendees, and the event will span two days.
PodCamp AZ 2008
November 1 & 2
Phoenix, AZ
(register now!)
I volunteered to give two presentations (one on each day).
First, I will talk about the future of Internet video and interactive interfaces. Many content producers use a traditional broadcast model for their content, which is very unidirectional. The Internet allows for two-way communication, which opens the door for many different ways of producing a show.
The other presentation will be about turning online connections into “in real life” (IRL) connections. Some people have concerns that “social” media is making people less social in real life. It can if that’s how you use social media. However, social media can be used as a tool to help you be more social.
How did you get so many followers on Twitter? I’m trying to use Twitter for marketing purposes, and would like to maximize it. BTW I live up here in Cave Creek!
