Brian Russell of Audio Activism is putting together (along with a bunch of help, I’m sure he would modestly point out) the next Podcaster Conference in NC.
I missed it last year, but I love the idea of a unconference: “The event will not have traditional speakers, commercial product pitches, or bags full of conference swag. The event will have free food and drink, pre-organized sessions, and will be conducted in an unconference style.”
If you want to learn about the wonderful world of grassroots audio production and how it’s getting along, then check it out and come un-network.
Where: 116 Murphey Hall, UNC, Chapel Hill, NC
When: Saturday, January 7, 2006 11am - 4pm
Register/Info: PodcasterCon.org
Here’s this via Audio Activism, for folks in the Triangle, NC area. Looks to be a great night of the up-and-coming Triangle blogging community:
“On Tuesday, November 15 from 7-9 p.m we’re having a Triangle Blogger’s Bash at Durham’s American Tobacco Historic District. The event will include a walking tour of WUNC’s new studios, a catered reception, talking about podcasting, and drinks at Tyler’s Speakeasy next door. Everyone is invited. Come to learn about blogging, podcasting, and meet your neighbors who have those cool blogs you read all the time.
“
