Yes, that’s right. I said digitally promiscuous! I learned about that and so much more at PodcampDC, the ” ‘unconference’ focused on educating people on how to use, implement and share any/all new media tools including, podcasts, videocasts, blogs, Second Life, Facebook and YouTube.”
Co-founded by Chris Penn, CTO at the Student Loan Network and Producer of the Financial Aid Podcast, PodcampDC was one of the best conferences that I have ever attended, and it was 100% free! Several PR/Marketing/New Media industry leaders presented on key topics such as:
- New Media Marketing, Chris Penn
- Attracting and Growing Your Audience, Mommycast
- Content Cross-Promotion, Jennifer Berk
- Powering Your Personal Network, Chris Penn and Dan Williams
- and many more
In addition to being surrounded by some extremely knowledgeable and successful new media pros, all of the speakers were truly down to earth and provided several great analogies to help participants understand their messages. Hands down, Chris Penn gets the best quotes of the day award:
“Social Networks are the new water cooler.”
“It’s okay to be digitally promiscuous.” (Referring to LinkedIn)

Glad you enjoyed the sessions so much – keep in touch, and hopefully I’ll see you in NYC and Boston for the upcoming PodCamps.

Thanks for commenting Chris. Definitely plan to make it to future Podcamp events.

I have to agree — PodCamp was fantastic! There were so many interesting people there that I’m afraid I didn’t get to meet everyone.

Yeah, there were definitely some people that I didn’t get to meet. I’m thinking of going for round 2 with podcamp Boston.
