The Beauty of PodCamp

shashib Shashi Bellamkonda (you probably know him as ShashiB) sent me video of his presentation at PodCamp DC. His session was interesting, and I liked the formula he used to help small businesses use social media, but what I love more is what you might not immediately catch because it’s in his opening remarks.

There was an open slot. Shashi stepped up and filled in to speak. Kenneth Yeung stepped in to film it. Done. Pow. Easy content, created by knowledgeable people, captured by the participants, all done on the fly without a lot of fuss and sweat.

That’s why PodCamp is cool. Because YOU make it cool. The next event is in New York City this coming Friday and Saturday. If you can make it, you’ll love it. If not this event, find or MAKE YOUR OWN event near you.

Have you been? What did you think of Shashi’s session? Can you imagine an event where YOU are the expert on what you know, what you have to say? What’s your take on PodCamp as a concept, or unconference style event structures?

    Podcamps are great to spread the knowledge. This is my second one , first one being podcamp edu and I learnt a lot from both. The beauty is also the time that people donate to help others. Thanks for helping start this off.

    Great! I especially appreciate all the long hours of volunteer work by the organizers and donations from sponsors that create the framework for improvisation like the above example to happen.

    Very cool. I’ll be at PodCampNY soaking it up and contributing what I can.

    Cool. Thanks for sharing this, Chris! I agree.

    Incidentally, I am currently working to organize a library unconference in Toronto. My work on Podcamp Toronto will have an influence, but we have some fantastic other ideas happening. Can’t wait to see how this different community takes to Camping!

    Cheers,
    Connie
