What comes to mind when you hear – PodCampAZ? Did you just assume I’m talking about an event only about Podcasting? If you did then you really need to take another look. We have a free five-year running New Media unconference gem here in the valley. Are you interested in blogs? What about video or social media?  Smart devices? They have all of that covered! Of course podcasting is also on the list in a big way – it is where the Pod in PodCamp comes from.

Impressive, isn’t it?! But wait, this isn’t your average conference. Attendees are encouraged to speak up, participate. That means that you will have the opportunity to not only ask questions but you will also be able to lend your own voice to the discussions and interact with the speakers. Whether you are a veteran, a self starter who needs a shove in the right direction, a total novice or are just curious to find out what exactly all of this new media stuff is all about PodCampAZ has something for you. 

This year PodCampAZ has assembled an amazing list of speakers presenting a wide variety, over 45 in fact, of topics covering every aspect of digital life including; Using Podcasting to Grow Your Business, Deconstructing Embedded Devices, Programming Android Applications, Intro to Digital Book Publishing, Neuromarketology, and Branding not Bragging. Every hour brings a new set of interesting and engaging choices. And since the format is open you can drop in for just a single session, stay all day or mix and match whatever sparks your interest. Check out the full schedule and plan your own new media adventure!

Registration is open now and attendance is free.

PodCampAZ is free, and runs Saturday and Sunday, November 12 – 13, at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe.
