These relaxed social media conferences are a great opportunity to learn more about social media in a collaborative environment.

Social Media Camp Boston

 

Social Media Camp Boston had some interesting presentations, with a heavy emphasis on Twitter.  The presentations were scheduled ad hoc.  It seemed to work ok but does the lack of an advance schedule discourage attendance?  I would guess it probably does but would be interested to hear.

Podcamp Boston Presentation Notes

Podcamp Boston was a great experience to hear about interesting projects and meet fascinating people. I'm posting the notes and slides from my presentation on "Thinking Outside the Pod" and will create an audio file of the presentation soon.  Please send me (andrew.jankowich AT metabostonmedia.com) any comments, thoughts, questions, etc.  And thank you to everyone who came.  I wish we had more time for discussion.

Podcamp Boston 3: July 19-20

Andrew will be attending and speaking at Podcamp Boston 3 which runs from July 19-20. 

He'll be discussing ways to find the best formats to work with the goals you have for podcasting.

"How many times have you heard this old saw:

“The best part of a conference is the conversations in the hallway.”

"What if the conference WAS the hallway? That’s the power of PodCamp Boston, the power of community, the power of conversation. The power of putting smart people from every walk of life together for two days to learn, share, and grow their new media skills. 480 people gathering to share their ideas, lessons learned and earned, cutting edge developments, and stories. From blogging to podcasting to Twitter to virtual worlds and more, whether you’re a veteran of new media or just getting started, PodCamp Boston has something for YOU"

Could one good idea change your world? What about a weekend full of them?

PodCamp Boston promises to help you learn, share, and grow your new media skills. If you’ve been wondering how to get more involved in new media and social media, if you’ve thought about starting a blog, podcast, or Twitter presence, PodCamp Boston is for you. If you’re a veteran adventurer of new media, come to share and learn from your peers, and make partnerships & friendships! PodCamp Boston offers something for everyone, no matter where you are on your new media journey."

The conference is being held at the Joseph Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School.

The Digital World Discussed: Benkler, Sunstein and Jenkins

Harvard Law professors Yochai Benkler (left)and Cass Sunstein will discuss the pros and cons of a digital age in a discussion moderated by MIT media professor Henry Jenkins and called Our World Digitized:  The Good, The Bad and the Ugly:

"Much discussion of our impending digital future is insular and without nuance.  Skeptics talk mainly among themselves, while utopians and optimists also keep company mainly within their own tribal cultures.  Today’s forum challenges this unhelpful division, staging a conversation between two of our country’s most thoughtful and influential writers on the  promise and the perils of the Internet Age."
