As organizer and co-founder Chris Brogan says, there will only be one inaugural PodCamp, the first of its kind. We’ve got a huge list of luminaries, a veritable who’s who of everyone who believes in the power of podcasting and the democratization of media, from the famous to the soon-to-be-famous alike. Won’t you join the family by registering to attend PodCamp Boston and considering a financial endorsement?
