Join Angelo and me this Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time on The Doctor Anonymous Show for an update and discussion for everything about Podcamp Ohio 2 which will be June 20th, 2009 in Columbus.
At the end of last month, there was a meetup in Columbus and it looks like from this posting in the Google group, that lots of things were discussed like finding sponsors, sessions & attendee regustration, block hotel rooms, event swag, and viral marketing. If you were able to attend this meetup, I encourage you to call into the show and share your thoughts about the meeting. The call in number for the show is 646-716-9514. There is also a live chat room during the show.
And, this weekend coming up, in Cincinnati, there will be a meetup of the New Media Cincinnati group. And, according to this tweet, it looks like there are already 60 people signed up – and it’s Valentine’s Day. Sheesh! If you’re planning to attend the NMC meeting this weekend, I encourage you to call in and say hello. Hope to see everybody on Thursday night!
The February PodCamp Ohio Meetup will be at the New Media Cincinnati Meetup this Valentines Day. The meetup will be on Saturday, February 14, 2009 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM at The Pub Rookwood Mews.
We will discuss session topics that attendees would like to see at the event. If possible, we will launch the attendee registration and the session application during the meetup.

I attended the second Ignite Columbus Event this week and it was even better than the first.

The previous event was held at the Columbus Robotics Society which is essentially a garage and had a wonderful covert underground feel. I enjoyed the feel of people coming together to talk about something they were passionate about and to take up the challenge to present on their topic in 5 minutes with slide advancing every 15 seconds. It’s not as easy as it looks.
The second event was held at Lextant in the now renovated Smith Brothers Hardware Building. There were more people attending and even more presenters than the first. The event was such a hit, that the organizers and attendees were talking about Ignite 3 while they were still at this one.
This particular event had a twist to it. We were given a ticket at sign in for a raffle prize. As luck would have it, my number was drawn and there was a string attached. I had to improv a deck of slides that I had never seen before. So I did it and I have to say it was a blast!

We were fortunate enough to have a professional videographer at this event to record all of the presentations. I will post a link here on this site when I get word that the videos are posted so you can see all of them and get a better sense of what Ignite is all about.
In the mean time, start getting ready for the next Ignite Columbus. The tentative date will be in April. I hope we get to see some more improv as well. After all, why should I be the only one to make a fool of them selves in public?
Many thanks to the organizers and especially Alvin Borromeo (@wyliemac) and Dan Rockwell (@floozyspeak) for their hard work and vision. Make sure you follow them on Twitter to keep up with everything they are doing.
