A different kind of camp

I recently attended an AIMS (Association of Internet Marketing & Sales) event on podcasting.  It was an fantastic event. One of the speakers, Mitch Joel from Twist Image, gave one of the best presentations I have ever seen. After seeing his presentation, you realize how boring most of them are. It was engaging and he told a story. It made you want to do something!  When is the last time you saw a presentation that made you excited, and inspired you to do something! His podcast is called Six Pixels of Separation, and if you are interested in podcasting, check it out.

As well, I attended casecamp. It's an interesting concept, where creative people get together and present case studies.  It was also very interesting, and it is open to everyone and free.

Another related event is PodCamp.  The Toronto one is coming up on February 24-25, 2007 @ Ryerson University. Visit PodCamp Toronto for more information, and you guessed it, it is free and open.

UPDATE: PodCamp Toronto is taking place again in 2008, the dates are Feb. 23-24.  Don't live near Toronto? Don't panic just yet, visit PodCamp to see if one is planned in a city closer to you.

Hi Mou,

My name's Dave Fleet. I'm one of the organizers of PodCamp Toronto 2008. Thanks for writing about our event!

You're right about Mitch - he's a great speaker, and a really nice guy to boot.

I hope you can make it out for PodCamp. One small note - the dates are Feb 23 & 24, 2008.

Thanks again,

Dave
