PodCamp Pittsburgh2 Is Coming

Psst. Have I got a deal for you! A free offer–no strings attached. Wanna learn about blogging, podcasting and other new forms of electronic media? Do yourself a favor and attend Podcamp Pittsburgh 2*, a so-called ‘un’-conference to be held Saturday and Sunday, August 18th and 19th at the Pittsburgh Art Institute, 420 Boulevard of the Allies, Downtown, from 9am to 3pm. You can attend either day or both.

When I went to the first podcamp last April, as well as classes on blogging and podcasting, there were classes on videoblogs, web video, social networking (you tube, myspace, etc.) and new media monetization (making money). Importantly, time periods are set aside where neophytes can spend one-on-one facetime with media experts in these fields. More importantly, it’s all free, including the advice.

Oh, and there’s free refreshments. We’re talking bagels, pastries and coffee for breakfast; plenty of bottled water, soda, munchies, sandwiches, pizza for lunch. If you run into Mark Gup, or Perry Bergman or Myra Carbonell–ask them about it–they were there too.

I’m going back, and not only for the free pizza.
