Who is Interested in a Charlotte PodCamp (or similar)?

January 23rd, 2009

The excitement seems to keep building for the Charlotte BarCamp tomorrow. You can order lunch today (the day before) and attend the Pre-Party this evening.

I’m now ready for my presentation on How to Make Money Online and am looking forward to meeting a lot of people on Saturday.

Is a Charlotte PodCamp next?

One of the next events I’d personally like to see is a Charlotte PodCamp. Others have expressed interest as well. So I may try to hold one in September.

What is a PodCamp?

You can read about PodCamps here, but it still may not make sense to you. So I’ll try to explain it a little simpler. Basically, it is a local event for people that create content online. Those that want to start creating content online are welcome too. This would include bloggers, podcasters, and Video podcasting.

According to “the rules”, PodCamps are held as a very open (and free) environment where anyone can speak on any topic (similar to BarCamp). All the information presented is available to share online via a creative commons license.

Interested? Which would you prefer?

If this is something you might be interested in attending here in Charlotte, please leave a comment below so I can gather some idea as to the interest.

My one other idea is to hold something very similar, but not have it specifically be a “PodCamp”. We could call it something like “Charlotte New Media”. This would allow us to be a little more structured and make sure some very specific topics are covered by the true thought leaders in this field.

Leave a comment below. What do you want?

I would definitely travel from Asheville for this. Even though I don’t ‘directly’ handle adding multimedia to web sites, I really need to understand how it’s done, and find people who can help my clients who want to start using podcasts, embedded video and streaming video.
