In one of my previous careers, I was a health coach working for JNJ and providing services to their clients, who were employees of companies like Motorola and Seagate. Many hops later and I was presenting a talk a few weeks ago at BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas, where I met Rob Halper, Director of [...]

We have an incredible opportunity here with Projection Presentation Technology. They have offered to handle all of our audio-visual services in exchange for a sponsorship. The entire package, of screens, projectors, microphones, and audio recording. For us - the team of all volunteers who are creating this conference in our extra time after day job [...]

Internet video is one of the hottest things on the internet the past few years, and with the increases in bandwidth, it is only getting better!

Services like mDialog now make it very easy to upload, manage, and watch high quality large format video that can also be distributed to mobile devices and delivered via [...]

We can’t have a Podcamp/Wordcamp without a lot of wifi internet! Pacific DirectConnect, the official internet provider for the Hawaii Convention Center, and the HCC itself have really worked with us in the Aloha way to provide ample and affordable internet connection.

It is one very profound way that this event is not your average conference! [...]

When we first started to think about Podcamp Hawaii, the choice of venue quickly became our most vexing challenge. Because Podcamp organizers do not get paid and do not make any profits, finding an affordable venue usually means asking for permission to use a school or community center. But we had big dreams and knew [...]

How fitting and lucky for us that the very first report is submitted by the oh-so-fashionable femme, Gail Shiraishi, aka @spldrttngrl. (That’s shorthand for “spoiled rotten girl” and I can tell you from first hand experience she is the complete opposite of that!)

Please send us your photos. One of these days when we catch our [...]

Location: Kakaʻako Park (covered tables down by the water, main building)
Date: Saturday, August 30th

All interested people are welcome to attend! This is an unconference, which means it is volunteer-driven and no one is paid. Our meetings and transactions are transparent and open to the public. We depend on the big [...]

T-shirts are one of the challenges of an unconference. They cost a lot. You have to order well in advance. People end up with the wrong size. People don’t show even tho you bought them a t-shirt. And it goes on and on.

“But people love their t-shirts!” you say. And we agree.

So we’ve come up [...]

Our First Aliʻi Sponsor: Blubrry
We extend special mahalos to Todd Cochrane, one of Hawaii’s own podcast experts who has arranged this contribution. Todd authored the very first book on Podcasting, and has built one of the most successful podcast-based businesses in existence today.

I read today in the Pacific Business News about this offer. We are close to announcing our Hotel Sponsor for Podcamp Hawaii 2008, but didn’t want anyone to miss out on this possibility either.

You can find out more at American Airlines Vacations.

We had a meeting today with June Matsumoto and Brian Allen at the Hawaii Convention Center. They are extending such a gracious hand to our podcamp! Other organizers have told me, “steer clear of hotels and conventions centers - they are too expensive and hard to deal with.” Nonetheless, this is Hawaii, and we [...]
