PodCampCapeTown

Tomorrow marks the realisation of the much anticipated PodCampCapeTown. PodCamp was started in Boston, MA, USA in September 2006. It’s an UnConference for anyone involved in New Media – whether you’re involved in listening, blogging, podcasting, watching, etc – this is for you.

So what’s an “UnConference”?

With the help of Wikipedia, it’s a “conference where the content of the sessions is driven and created by the participants, generally day-by-day during the course of the event, rather than by a single organizer, or small group of organizers, in advance.”

The event is anticipated to be very dynamic, with people in the industry sharing their thoughts and ideas, and experts giving advice and recommendations. I think it’s going to be inspiring, especially for people like myself who make a living in the world of Cyberspace and New Media.

Date: Saturday, 20th of October 2007

Time: 09:00 to 17:00. Please be there early since we want to start at about 09:00.
