Meeting 19 – Countdown to 100!

Written by angelo on April 24, 2008 – 10:18 am -

Short meeting, we discussed last weekends meetup in Akron, audio recording equipment, review the current set of sessions, volunteers, directory guide, ordering event t-shirts, blue t-shirt for event volunteers and wireless Internet access.

During this meeting we devised a Count Down to 100 Attendees Free T-Shirt contest. Once we reach 100 (happened this past weekend) we will randomly pick one of the first 100 registered guests a free T-shirt.

Joe will be managing session tasks during the event, such as assisting volunteers with helping session speakers find their rooms and setup. Brandice will be managing registration during the event, such as assisting volunteers with getting guests signed in and distributing the event swag bags/t-shirts.

We’re almost at 100 registered guests for PodCamp Ohio and we still have over 2 months of registration before the event! As an incentive, I (Angelo) will buy one of the first 100 registered guests a FREE PodCamp Ohio T-shirt. We will randomly pick from the first 100 registered guests, excluding organizers of course.

PodCamp 2008 Meeting 12 – Sessions on our Minds

Written by angelo on February 23, 2008 – 12:26 pm -

In this episode we talk about pre/post event planning, promos, registration and session planning.

Dave is going to look at the possibility of getting podsafe entertainment for the night before PodCamp. Dave and Matt are working on creating promos.

We go over the registration page that Joe designed, it is very close to going on-line. We also discussed the Attendee Directory page that will be going live when registration goes live. We’re going to twitter the users who register with the option selected to be included in the Attendee Directory. The twitter message will start with @twitter_name + description twitter style from registration. If you’re following PodCampOhio on Twitter, you’ll know who to follow who’s going to be attending PodCamp Ohio!

We talked about planning sessions. We discussed the idea of reviewing the proposed sessions with a committee or accepting sessions in the order they are received. We decided to stick with accepting session in the order they are received. While brainstorming we took Scott’s idea of having lightning sessions with the idea that the lightning session would be on a specific topic such as Web Site Tools.

We discussed revising the web site, we’ve removed the ‘The Podcasters’ section of the blog roll and created two pages, one for Organizers and Volunteers and another for PodCamp Ohio Fans.
