EVENT: PodCamp BOSTON

We've just signed up to attend (and sponsor) PodCamp Boston, Sept. 9-10 2006. (We may be speaking, too. More on that later.) It's an unconference-type thing devoted to grassroots media, podcasting etc. and looks like it's attracting all sorts of interesting people. Some PR firms and bigger businesses, but mostly individuals trying to launch their own projects or get their organizations on board with new media. It's going to be fun to hang out with a group of people who can actually DO things...as opposed to the many big business (marketers) who just talk talk talk. Funny how sometimes it's easier to do things when you don't have any money. UPDATE: Here's our speaking session description: The Advertising/Marketing World and Video Social Media - Owen Mack & Jesse Buckley, coBRANDiT - How we've used our videoblog to open doors and establish credibility in the world of new marketing, and why marketing agencies and new media content providers are interested. The coBRANDiT story includes brand hi-jacking, market research, viral video, word-of-mouth marketing, and other topics sure to get us flamed.
