    So PodCamp Ireland lands tomorrow, the third unconference in 12 months I’ve been directly involved in organising. Turns out, it’s not easy, but when you get to the day it’s all good.

    Tomorrow will be no different. We’ve plenty of talks to look forward to and with 125 registered (if we got 80-90 then we’d be looking well) there’ll be a load of people to talk with and chat with. I’m sure I’ll no doubt be running around like a very calm but very headless chicken tomorrow. Along side in an organisational capacity of course are Bernie and Krishna and there’s a few people who have put themselves forward to volunteer in any capacity possible.

    The session I’ve organised for tomorrow will look at (with a bit of prodding from anyone keen on asking questions) how elements of social media and various online applications have helped the development and progress of KilkennyMusic, The Devious Theatre Company and Mycrofilms. There will be a screening before lunch of The Scarlet Lady Vanishes, followed by a Q&A with the Vultures crew, KKM crew and Devious crew but keeping the unconference notion in mind “we’ll see what happens on the day”.

    Registration is from 9:30am, I’ll be there in the hotel from about 8am, if anyone wants me tomorrow or wants to drop me a line before then, just contact me.

    Other than that, I’ll see you all tomorrow morning in Hotel Kilkenny for the second PodCamp Ireland.

  • The PodCamp Ireland Podcast Series

    In case you’ve been in hiding for the past few weeks or haven’t yet heard, myself, Krishna De and Bernie Goldbach have started a PodCamp Ireland podcast series, distributed through Blog Talk Radio and iTunes every Wednesday. As it is hosted through Blog Talk Radio, the show goes out live at 9am each Wednesday morning and you’re able to listen live or dial in to the show to take part.

    The podcast, heading into its fifth week, features a weekly tech / domain / hosting tip from Michele Neylon, a feature interview by Krishna with a new guest each week as well as other topical discussion on the build-up to PodCamp in Kilkenny this September.

    Already interviewed have been Johnny Beirne (DownloadMusic.ie), Campbell Scott (IGOPeople.com), Cathy Fitzgerald (ArtLinks.ie), Darragh Doyle (re: 4DayMovie.com) while this coming week sees an interview with Deborah Hadley (Tast.ie).

    If you would like to get involved, offer yourself available for an interview or suggest a topic for discussion then drop an email to podcampireland [@] gmail.com.
