We all remember the build up to summer camp: the excitement and nerves. And then getting shipped off to spend a few days exploring our new surroundings, learning from each other and generally having a blast.
Think those days are over? Think again. Enter PodCamp, the conference for adults where professionals teach professionals what they know.
The idea is based on a social sharing concept, very similar to Web 2.0 rationale. We are the experts in our chosen field. We all have something to contribute to the global community.
But don’t take my word for it. Hear what others have to say about PodCamp:
“I regularly present at 30+ conferences a year, almost all with paid staff and organizers. This conference was in the top 5 best organized out of all of those… Even now, in the weeks after Podcamp, we’re all still talking about how great it was.” – Jared Spool, User Interface Engineering
“PodCamp Boston was a great experience, something I would recommend to others to join and support and something I look forward to being a part of in the future.” – Jeff Pulver, VON
“I had a great time today at Podcamp Boston 2, a new media expo at the Boston Convention Center full of podcasters, bloggers, and other new media folks. There was so much energy in the room – with everyone taking pictures, blogging, podcasting, and twittering – it was reminiscent of SXSW.” – Stephanie Rogers, PARTNERS+simons
It’s called the “Conference in the Hallway” and may be the summer perk you were looking for.
