If you’re thining about submitting a session for PodCamp Ohio, please consider submitting it before June 1, 2009. We will be sending the event guide to the printers that day, so it is very important that we receive your session before then.
Session registration will continue to be open on and after June 1st, just your session description will not be included in the printed guide.
Tonight on The Doctor Anonymous Show, we’ll be giving an update on what’s been happening on Podcamp Ohio 2 which is only 52 days from now – Can you believe it?
In looking at the website here and listening to Angelo’s weekly meetings on Talkshoe, it looks like everything is going well. There are already a lot of people registered and signing up to present sessions has been going well.
So, check us out tonight, Thursday, April 30th, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time on BlogTalkRadio to get the latest information. Hope to see you tonight!
Update: The archived podcast is below. Thanks again to Angelo for being on the first half of the show. In case you’re interested, the majority of the 2nd half of the show we talked about the swine flu epidemic.

It’s official! The night before PodCamp Ohio we will be hosting Ignite Columbus. We’re thinking of calling it Ignite Columbus presents: Ignite Ohio or some other such fun thing. The PodCamp Ohio organizing crew has been working to try to bring extra value and fun to your PodCamp experience. This special Ignite will be from 6 to 8pm on Friday June 19th, in the same space as PodCamp Ohio.
We contacted the Ignite Columbus organizers and invited them to use our space for their next event and they have accepted. This event is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. All PodCamp Ohio attendees are welcome to join in the fun of Ignite.
Don’t know what Ignite is? Ignite is an evening of 5 minute presentations that cover a range of topics people are passionate about. Presenters use a deck of 20 slides that advance every 15 seconds. Many who attended Ignite events come away with new information, new friends and maybe even the spark of a new idea.
Here is my favorite presentation from the most recent Ignite Columbus Event:
We are thrilled to be working with Dan Rockwell, Alvin Borromeo and the rest of the Ignite Columbus crew to bring you this fun evening of entertainment. Between Ignite and PodCamp Ohio, the weekend is sure to leave you with a lot of information and fresh ideas for enhancing your own new media and social media experience.
If you would like to present at the Ignite event, please watch their website for details on how to sign up. All presentations will need to use the Ignite template so it is important that you register to present and receive instructions. We will be posting more details here as they develop.
I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at this event and the next day at PodCamp Ohio.

June is just a quick few months away, and already people are buzzing about PodcampOhio2. With 12 sessions set up thus far and people registering to attend, PodcampOhio2 is ramping up fast.
Attendees know that, though the sessions are chock-full of interesting tidbits, advice and jaw-dropping revelations, as much fun can be had roaming and chatting with those waiting on their sessions or just hanging out in the common areas. Conversations don’t drag here, they inspire. Looking forward to it!

Brandice and Angelo talked through with me a possible session that I would do talking about medicine and new media. Do you have an interest in health and medicine? Do you have any suggestions for me as far as things that you would like to see? Angelo made a suggestion about talking about health/medicine resources out there.
I encourage you to check out the video post above and you can also listen to the show on the player here or even download the show to listen to anytime. Thanks to everybody who joined me live and those who will listen on the archives. I appreciate it!

On Thursday night, March 26th, 2009 at 9pm ET, join me live on The Doctor Anonymous Show. I’ll be joined by our friend Brandice and we’ll be doing something unique.
I’m thinking about doing a session at Podcamp Ohio this year, and you can help me plan what I’m going to present. The only idea I have is that it’s going to be about medicine and new media. (Also check out the video post above. Don’t forget to join our Facebook group!)
If you’ve never experienced my show before, you’re in for a treat! There is a live, interactive chat room. You can also call into the show to say hello. And, there is a live webcam to see my shining face. Hope you’re able to join us for the online meetups tonight and/or tomorrow!
Many of you have been patiently awaiting this announcement. Our session registration page is now OPEN! If you have a new media topic that you are passionate about and would like to share your knowledge, feel free to sign up to lead a session at PodCamp Ohio. The sessions can be about anything New Media related such as blogging, podcasting, videos and the use of social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook.
PodCamp Ohio has a Flickr group that you can add your photos to. Feel free to create some fun promotional photos for this years PodCamp Ohio and add them to the PodCamp Ohio Flickr group. If we think they’re funny or interesting enough, we will feature them here. Please had this years hashtag: #pco09.
Things are moving right along here in PodCamp World. We have two returning sponsors for PodCamp Ohio.
Welcome back Dr. Anonymous from the Dr. Anomymous Podcast, and Blubrry.com which provides services and tools to podcasters.
During our organizing meeting this past Wednesday evening, we discussed starting an official hash tag for this years podcamp. It’s official, our hash tag will be #pco09. I fyou are discussing PodCamp Ohio in Twitter, blogging, posting pictures or videos, please add this hash tag to make it easier for your fellow PodCamp Ohio enthusiasts to find you.
We had a few issues with the registration page and all the bugs should be worked out so feel free to register now if you haven’t done so. If you have any problems with our site, let us know either by sending us a message on Twitter or by emailing Angelo )(angelo[at]podcampohio.com).
We also discussed adding a tag line to our logo to help explain what PodCamp Ohio is about and decided to open it up to all you to come up with one. A tag line is a short simple state ment that would further explain what PodCamp Is or maybe a funny statement that will entice people to find out more. So we made it a contest. For the next two weeks, we will accept your submissions for a tag line for PodCamp Ohio. Right now the winner will receive bragging rights, but if anyone would care to throw in a prize, we’re not to proud to accept that. Just leave your tag line submission in the comments below. You could even let your friends know and ask them to post a comment to “vote” in favor of your tag line. Heck, why not make a video of your tag line suggestion and post it to Viddler or You Tube, add the #pdo09 hash tag and leave a link in the comments. You may as well have some fun with this right?
If you would like to help organize PodCamp Ohio and hang out with some pretty cool if not wildly strange people, join us on line for our organizing meetings every Wednesday night at 8:00pm.
More news to follow about session registration and information about where to stay if you are coming from out of town.
We have updated PodCamp Ohio’s My Space page. If you are on My Space, be sure to add us as a friend and let all of your other My Space friends know about us.
