I am pleased to announce that PodCamp Ohio will be held at ITT Technical Institute in Hilliard, Ohio on June 28, 2008.

Out of all of the locations available, this location is the most ideal for Ohio’s PodCamp. Based on the needs expressed at the first meeting and meet-up, this location gives us the ability to implement many, if not all, of the ideas everyone had.

ITT Technical Institute, Hilliard, OH web site: http://www.itt-tech.edu/campus/school.cfm?lloc_num=22

Our next tasks will include obtaining event insurance, planning a budget for the activities and setting sponsorship levels.

The first 10 minutes are a bit rough, I (Angelo) was having technical difficulties with my phone.

We talked about potential venue locations, digged deep into event planning and got into a lot of details about how the event will function.

Meeting notes are outlined in detail the PodCamp Ohio Google Group.

Next Talkshoe meeting planned for next Thursday, December 6th at 8pm.

I got to attend PodCamp Arizona this past weekend. Michelle and Brent Spore managed an excellent PodCamp. Every detail was addressed well. The event was a huge inspiration for the coming PodCamp Ohio.

I am now looking for a venue to support the event here in the Central Ohio area. I now have a better idea what type of facility should be used for the event as well as the resources required.

If you are interested in assisting with PodCamp Ohio or have suggestions, please send me an E-mail (angelo at podcampohio.com).
