Now without further ado, the badges! (Click for full size version!)

There’s definitely some content for everyone.

The guide is yet to come, but it’s on it’s way as well.  I know people are eager for the schedule so we’re releasing that first.  Stay tuned for day of reminders, etc.

More importantly, I’ll post the link to download the file PDFs that you can print prior to the event to write your takeaways on or simply reference on your digital device.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at chel.pixie [at] gmail [dot] com as we seem to be having a few issues with the PCB Gmail account that I cannot pinpoint in time for the event.

Speakers: You should be receiving the schedule soon, please check the dates/times to see when you’re up to bat.

We will be having a PodCamp 101 discussion session on Sunday morning (tentative and subject to a time change) for those of you new to the world of podcasting, social media and more.  This will be another chance to ask more 101 / beginner type questions of attendees.  If you would like to contribute by sharing your knowledge with beginners, please let us know immediately!

Saturday Networking Event: After PCB6 ends on Saturday we will all be gathering in the Commons for a meetup.  Talk about what you’ve learned, ask questions, meet the people you didn’t get a chance to say hi to.  This is your chance.  We’re working on refreshment details.

================================

Podcamp Boston 6 is being held at our sponsored facility Mircosoft N.E.R.D. which is located in Cambridge, MA on September 24 and 25th.

If you wish to sponsor this year’s events we’ll be doing very specific type sponsorships for things like food, name badges, and other goodies.  All net proceeds will be donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank Kid’s Cafe program again this year.

The theme

Instead of just inspiration and fluffy bits of unordered advice, what if you created a notebook from PodCamp Boston 6 as an actual guidebook of sorts, a reference guide and practice manual?

That’s the theme for this year’s Podcamp Boston. The ultimate takeaway for those old and new to the fun and learning of Podcamp. During the weekend you will be creating a guidebook that will help you create a blog, podcast, learn to use social media and of all the things you learn for fun, for yourself or for your business. With a wealth of information at your fingertips, you’ll carry the learning experience well beyond this weekend and into the days and months to come.

Participants of PodCamp can attend, learn, see the material in action, try it out, and walk home with a note. You come, you learn and practice some techniques, you get some notes. Maybe you don’t master it this weekend, but you have a solid place to start, something you can practice, take home, and work out. While you have started to build a network of people whom you can go to for answers when the weekend ends.

Sponsorship Opportunities

If you’d like to sponsor Podcamp Boston 6, contact Chel regarding our sponsorship opportunities, which range from $250-$10,000.

Thank each of you that have attended in the last 5 years helping to make Podcamp Boston and Podcamps around the world a place where those new can learn about our crazy world of podcasting and new media.  Thank you for your time, resources and energy.

Our sponsors this year included each of you, Microsoft New England Research and Development Center, C.C. Chapman,  Blue Sky Factory, Batchblue, and Boloco Harvard.  We owe you a debt of gratitude for your faith in our conference and community to put your companies behind us both financially and branding.  Thank you.

The biggest accomplishment comes with helping others and toward that, each of you played a part in the major donation we were able to make to the Greater Boston Food Bank.  This year we’ve donated $7,000 to the Greater Boston Food Bank Kid’s Cafe.  This program serves over 1,700 kids for dinner 5 nights a week.

We discovered that the limited seating this year made the event more intimate.  For the first time we had a fairly high attendance on Sunday, testifying to the fact that many people were finding what they needed to know.  Approximately 60% of the attendees were new to Podcamp, we hope that each you found the knowledge you were seeking and if not, please seek out people that you met over the weekend to continue conversations.

In order to facilitate that, several outposts have been created by some generous souls.  Joslin Mane over at Boston Tweetup curated all content tagged with #PCB5. Photos, blog posts, audio, video and more is easily searched.  James Jones of Media Connect has set up a wiki to compile information on all sessions at Podcamp Boston 5.  Ann Kingman has started a wiki to organize a Podcamp Boston for Kids.  If you know of a child that would be interested, please head over and pursue the event.

And last but certainly not least in any sense of the word, Paul Durham of Black Lab graciously agreed to fly to Boston, stay and play his first show in many years.  Thank you Paul for the entertainment this year.

Please take a moment to sign up for notification of next year’s event, we’ll be starting the planning early next year and will use the mailing list to reach those who are interested in attending.  The sign up form is in the sidebar to the right of this post.

You made the success of this event possible.  Thank you. Very very much.

Till next year, with gratitude,

Chel Wolverton and the Podcamp Boston 5 Organizing Team
