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.

The Dynamics of Group Blogging

Rosa Say will begin this session with a case study of Joyful Jubilant Learning (JJL) from her perspective as the site’s founder and managing editor. JJL is a group blog dedicated to collaborative online learning; the site was created in 2006 as the web-based forum of the Hoʻohana Community of self-proclaimed [...]

Aloha!
This is the second email about Podcamp. If you signed up after October 9th and missed the first attendee email, no problem. We posted it here [...]

Hawaii is blessed to be a high-tech mecca, a Silicon Valley of the Pacific. Our business environment supports and encourages technology-oriented projects in many unique ways. Similarly, PodCampHawaii embraces the business community by our “teaching them how to fish” with new social media. We are very proud to have High Tech Development Corporation join us [...]

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 [...]

Road Runner really hit a home run with us! 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Burt Lum, Neenz Faleafine, and I did an off the cuff phone interview recently and Burt generously shared the audio file with us. Give a listen to get a quick overview “all about podcamp.” It’s not that easy for people to understand what this event is all about! It’s about 11 minutes short!

Then on [...]

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. Please read on for a few excerpts from the Blubrry web site [...]

You Can Attend For Free
In keeping with the original podcamp tradition, this year’s first event is FREE to attend!

We want to make sure that price is not a barrier, and to be in sync with so much of what the internet has taught us: free encourages collaboration and networking at an extraordinary [...]

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 [...]
