LBJ Catering was a full-service, last-minute sponsor, brought to us by the BBQ Wrangler, Ed Morita. It was looking like the BBQ would be cancelled due to lack of volunteers, then Ed showed up, and brought along his friend Leon! Ed planned the menu and got the food and supplies while Leon brought his [...]

Greg is a founder of Vantage Counsel, and helped us set up the legal requirements for Podcamp + Wordcamp Hawaii. In true aloha spirit, he didn’t hesitate when asked and offered his services pro bono to set up the official LLC that is responsible for this event.

Greg is an active participant in various tech groups [...]

I love when the angels show up at the last minute, and D-J Mixx is one of them! Short story: wife of owner, @FranMagbual heard my pleas on Twitter and volunteered her husband’s services. They are bringing a sound system, so we can have music aka “mele” and make it super easy for local [...]

Joe Philipson has joined us as the official photographer of Podcamp Hawaii. Joe is well known in the local Flickr community and has a true photographer’s eyes - he just sees things through a unique lens, and I am not talking about his camera! He knows that attention rewards a photographer.

I am partial to [...]

Thank you to everyone for all of your patience. I know this has been a long time coming. Normal conferences do the schedule and book the speakers very early on; we do the infrastructure building and relationship-building first, and spread the word to anyone who wants to speak.

As we posted a few days ago, our title Sponsor Road Runner is giving us 300 30-second TV spots. We had a great turnout and shot the commercial in 3 takes. We didn’t even really need the 3rd take but I like to be sure we have enough coverage with so many people involved. You [...]

We’ve got over 150 people registered for Podcamp + Wordcamp Hawaii, but now and then we hear of someone who is going to be unavailable for the event. Not to worry! There are several other geek happenings you can attend in the coming weeks and months that will be covering similar topics.

First let’s [...]

This is the local Time Warner Cable internet service, and they are providing us gigantic benefits: 300 30-second TV spots to be run across their many channels, plus an email to their 200,000 plus residential and business subscribers, plus a $500 cash contribution.

We are the [...]

It is with great pleasure that we welcome blip.tv as a ʻOhana Sponsor. Blip was around at the very beginning of the videoblogging phenomenon, and stands apart from other video hosting sites by [...]

Erika Engle, who writes TheBuzz column for the Business section of the Star-Bulletin, and I spoke on the phone for about 45 minutes and somehow she magically distilled all the key points!

So how do you join in and market your business and engage your customers, promote your canoe club’s fundraiser, or play in the inviting [...]

Watch this quick video update! Thank you to new sponsors Road Runner High Speed Internet and Johnson & Johnson. I continue to be thrilled with the response we are getting to this event and the way “business with Aloha” can be conducted. By the way, that is the slogan for the Hawaii Convention Center. If [...]
