PodCamp Boston3 Rocked

This was, by far, the very best PodCamp that I ever attended. I’m grateful for Christopher S. Penn, Whitney Hoffman, Chel Pixie, Steve Sherlock, Susan “Sooz” Kaup, Doug Haslam, and everyone else who did the groundwork to make the event happen. The conference center at the Harvard Medical School was gorgeous. People took bunches of pictures, and we’re finding media here and there (all tagged “pcb3″) for you to explore it with us.

What I loved most about the experience was the energy, the sense that we could make progress, the fact that people came into the venue, engaged, and took EVERYTHING further. I felt energized, and excited by the conversations I had, and will unpack several of them into blog posts, a newsletter article, and more.

Thanks also to Nina Simonds for arranging a beautiful small dinner in honor of Grammar Girl, Mignon Fogarty. Thanks to Roger Berkowitz, who had a few of us into his restaurant for dinner, at Nina’s recommendation.

If you’re thinking of learning more about media making, and how this might impact your business, I highly recommend checking out a PodCamp in your neighborhood. What? There isn’t one? Start one. The six rules are easy to follow. The work is hard, but can be done with a few friends, and the results are astounding.

Lastly, a shout out to Jeff Pulver for throwing a pre-pre PodCamp supper for 30+ folks at Bertucci’s and for sponsoring two last-minute tickets (proceeds to the Boston Food Bank). You were there for the first two, and you were there in spirit for the second.

Cheers.

Please don’t discount your hard work in the event too, sir.

What was a real trip was at Tequila Rain, watching the video clips from the end of the very first PodCamp. The more things change, the more they are the same.

I’m proud to have been a part of PCB3, and I think it was a watershed for a lot of people in a lot of ways. I know that it definitely changed my perspective about what a PodCamp can be – the power of community with the precision of professional events.

When I looked at ALL the PodCamp pictures in which I appear (or at least those on Flickr), I realized that I could die today and feel like I’d made a difference.

This was my first PodCamp Boston, and it couldn’t have gone smoother or been full of warmer people. You all did a fantastic job putting this on and I’ll keep spreading the buzz. Hope to be back next year!

Chris, thanks for organizing this. It was the right balance of conference/unconference – smooth execution of an organized conference in an informal atmosphere that encouraged plenty of participation. And everyone had a good time, learned a lot, and made some new friends.

We must put an end to the ChrisBroganization of PodCamp hallway music!

Suggestion 1 – Next several events will require all acoustic guitars to be played by Natalie Gelman http://www.nataliegelman.com and Jody Gnant http://www.jodygnant.com and people who don’t have day jobs in social media.
Suggestion 2 – Someone please teach Brogan AC-DC, Run DMC, Aerosmith, Foo Fighters, Wilco or anything that doesn’t suck.

P.S. To add to the Thanks meme above: Chris, thank you for reminded my that you were part of PodCamp NYC 1.0 after-midnight pizza trip and booze up with Russell Holliman (sponsor Podcast Ready, my fav client), the Jewish Maxim model (I heart Edyn), the other woman with tattoos and piercings, Philly’s “Roadie Show” and fans of “Best Damn Tech Show, Period.”

That was a PodCamp, my friends!
