Calling all social media junkies in Ohio (and surrounding areas) :
Just a little note to remind you all that Podcamp Ohio will be held this weekend in the glorious city of Columbus, Ohio. The event is FREE. Yes, I said FREE. If you are scratching your head right now asking yourself, “What the hell is a Podcamp?” — Please visit the Web site here.
If you are being highly productive and don’t have time to scan the site for information, then why are you reading my blog?!?! Just kidding of course. Here is a brief overview:
WHAT: A conference that helps connect people interested in blogging, social networks, podcasting and new media. Attendees can learn, share, and grow their new media skills with others.
WHEN: June 28, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
WHY: You will learn all sorts of really cool things about the various aspects of social media. It’s also a great way to meet new folks who love to do the same things as you! (translation: NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK)
Some of the sessions that are being offered include, but are not limited to:

Obviously, I am very excited about the event. I can’t wait to learn more about the different types of social media and how they all work together. Plus, I get to hang out with some pretty sweet people in the process. (Cough, cough) –my favorite Aussie Paull Young, Kait Swanson, Luke Armour, Constantin Basturea, and Michael Denton to name a few. Come join us for a great weekend!!
