Towns of Western Massachusetts

I am writing this to encourage anyone within driving distance of Westfield, MA to join the fun the weekend of February 4 & 5, 2011 at PodCamp Western MA 3.

The weekend is going to start off rocking on Friday night, February 4th, with Jon Berman opening for The Jeff Michaels Band at the Westwood in Westfield, MA. This is a FREE concert event and you do not have to attend the PodCamp functions to come enjoy these amazing musicians. Here is a sample of what you might hear from the Jeff Michaels Band.

On Saturday the 5th Westfield State University will host PodCamp Western MA 3 in the Horace Mann Center. This is an unconference on all things social media and internet based. For the low entry fee of $25 you will get a t-shirt, coffee, lunch and a day loaded with amazing content. Attendees will have the choice of sessions such as: “Facebook Privacy”, “Job Hunting”, “Social Media 101”, “I’m on Linkedin, Now What?”, “The Future of the Web: The Next Wave After Social”, and I will faciliate a sharing session on “How to shoot, edit and post a video in 15 minutes with your iPhone”.

These are just a sample of the types of sessions that will be held throughout the course of the day. There are also open rooms for impromtu tracks to be posted as needed, so if you have something you want to facilitate and share you can.

I have attended the past two PodCamp Western MA and have learned a ton and met some amazing people both times. My first PodCamp post “A PodCamp Virgin Tells All” and my thoughts after my second experience “This One Time at Podcamp” and the video from PodCamp Western MA 2.

Following a fabulous day of learning, we will continue to put the social in social media at The Tavern on Broad Street in Westfield, MA.

I hope I will see you at at least some of the functions, but it is going to be a weekend of fun, sharing and learning that you won’t want to miss! Come get your geek on at PodCamp and learn why everyone at PodCamp is a rock star!
