PodCamp Meetup 6 This Saturday!

This will be the second last meetup before PodCamp! Meetup 6 will take place on Saturday, May 17 from 11:00 am – 1:00 PM at the Hilliard Panara Bread (3625 Fishinger Blvd, Hilliard, OH 43026) close to ITT Technical Institute (map). Immediately following, we will visit ITT for event organizers and volunteers to check out the facilities.

Podcamp Ohio is pleased to feature ITT Technical Institute Hilliard – Columbus as the exclusive venue sponsor for PodCamp Ohio 2008.

The ITT Hilliard – Columbus facilities are perfect for a PodCamp. There are multiple rooms available ranging in seating between 24 and 75 with screen projectors and network access. The location has ample parking and easy to access from the highway. The main lobby and lounge area will provide ample space for attendees to socialize and network between sessions. There are also a number of break out rooms that will be available for podcasters to perform interviews and record podcasts.

Thank you ITT Technical Institute for providing us such a great venue location.

(Columbus, Ohio) Everyone from executives in the marketing, business, design and technology industries to house wives and students will gather at ITT Technical Institute in Hilliard on Saturday, June 28, 2008 for PodCamp Ohio. Anyone interested in learning about, experiencing or collaborating on topics such as podcasting, blogging, new media and social networking will learn from and interact with the experts at this day-long “unconference.”

“It’s all about learning, getting hands on with new media and spending time with folks that make up your online community,” said Angelo Mandato, coordinator of PodCamp Ohio. “By attending PodCamp Ohio, members of the blogging, podcasting, marketing, academic, and business communities will lead the charge toward embracing and effectively utilizing new and social media in our area,” he added.

PodCamp Ohio offers a unique opportunity for attendees to learn, share or grow their new media skills. They can attend informal sessions, created and driven by participants, about podcasts, blogs, digital music, web video and related aspects of new, Internet-based media. The format allows both beginner and expert media producers, as well as listeners, watchers and readers, to participate, discuss and network.

PodCamp Ohio is presented by ITT Technical Institute in Hilliard, OH (Columbus metro). The event is open to the public, but registration is required. To sign up or learn more, visit 2008.podcampohio.com. Experience with podcasting or blogging are not requirements to participate; professionals of any industry, hobbyists and students are encouraged to attend.
Sponsors are still being accepted. If you are interested in sponsoring PodCamp Ohio, contact Angelo Mandato by calling (614) 429-4474 or sending an email to angelo [at] podcampohio.com.

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.
