I just signed up for PodCamp AZ and I’m jazzed! How many conferences have you been to that are free, filled with great speakers, innovative topics and really encouraged participant interaction? Try nearly none! If you are in the Phoenix, AZ area this coming weekend, Nov 20-21, then you owe it to yourself to come take a peek at the sessions being offered.
This is not a geek-out festival (ok..it kinda is), but rather a great place to come learn about topics that might be eluding you or you find hard to learn on your own. The topics and speakers are diverse, but all are focused on educating on some form of new media. The speakers are warned…NO SALES PITCH! So from a participant’s perspective you can really look forward to getting a presentation heavy on content and light on “here’s what else I can do for you.”
Did I mention this conference is free?
Another great this about this conference is the simultaneous sessions. Each hour there are several speakers and topics to choose from, depending on your interest. If you aren’t digging the session, drop out and go to another. You are encouraged to make it the best experience for you.
I pulled the speaker lineup from the front page of the PodCamp AZ site to save you a click.

I’m really looking forward to PodCamp AZ this weekend! I made it out last year from California and it was a real blast! Highly recommended even for those (like me) that aren’t in the Phoenix area–if you can make it there, you won’t regret it.
