It seems the
registration for the 2006 Podcast and Portable Media Expo is open. This conference is going into its second year and
from all accounts I have heard it was great fun had by all who attended the expo. It is at the Ontario Conference
Center in Ontario California again, although it is moving from November to September. It is still two days of vendor
exhibit hall, keynote presentations and conference sessions.
This conference is mostly aimed at those in podcasting, although I know a lot of podcast listeners went last year for the exhibit hall, and to mingle with, meet and see their favorite podcasters. It is also a way to get advertisers and podcasters together to facilitate sponsorship deals.
The conference has five conference tracks this year which are listed after the break.
The five tracks available this year are:- Podcasting 101 - A to Z for Beginners - Getting Up To Speed Fast
- Podcasting As A Business - Turning Content Into Profits
- Corporate Podcasting - Communications and PR Best Practices
- Podcasting As A Hobby - For Those Who Create Purely for Enjoyment
- Portable Audio & Video - Moving Traditional Content Into a Portable, On-Demand World (includes sessions for educators, musicians, and other specific interests)
They have a Frappr map setup for attendees to show where they are coming from on the attendees tools page. One of the other tools on the page is a link to the forums setup for discussion and side meeting arranging.
I am hoping to be there either in some way, either as a podcaster, just a podcast listener, or covering the expo for Droxy. Are any of our readers going to be there? Leave a comment if you plan on going.
