[Hidden-tech] PodCamp W. Mass is go!

[Tish Grier]

Hi Everyone,

At the Social Media panel, my co-panelist Morriss Partee and I announced PodCamp Western Mass, and said we'd have more info...so here are the details:

Event:   PodCamp Western Mass Unconference
Date:    March 28, 2009 (next Saturday)
Location: Open Square in Holyoke
Time:     9 a.m. to 5p.m.

See the wiki : http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/PodCampWesternMass

and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=65495385989&ref=ts  
   
**Cost to attend is $20--register through Eventbrite:
http://podcampwesternmass.eventbrite.com 

In keeping with the spirit of the un-conference, we are not pre-scheduling sessions, but some that Morriss, myself and Jacklyn Stevenson (freelance tech and travel journalist) have been tossing around are:  Social Media 101 (for newbies to social media),  Social Media and Journalism, how to create a podcast...

Come prepared with ideas for sessions!  We also suggest that you bring your laptop and, if possible, a power strip.  We will provide some powerstrips (and great wifi) but the more the better.

The event is limited to 60 participants, and registrations are going fast!  So, if you're planning to attend, register soon!

THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS WE'D LIKE FOR THE DAY (and if you can provide, we'll waive the registration)

2 projectors (screens optional)
2 coffee urns

If you can provide, email me and we can work out the details.

Hope to see some of you there!

Best,
