PodCampNashville was a BLAST! (#pcn09)

Conferences 45 Comments »

So, by far, today’s PodCampNashville was one of the most fun events that I’ve been to in the last while. I made a lot of new connections, but the best part was hanging out at the after party and just reveling in the “real life” of things.  Sure, we all met online, but it’s a driving community spirit that keeps us all coming back for more (that, and the fact that @TROnash still has a #gpsassassins smack-down coming, but that’s beside the point).

I think my presentation went well, but it was little strange having people come up to me and say they came just to see my presentation.  It’s a little unnerving sometimes; having people who look to you in that manner is a heavy responsibility… one I take with great honor and responsibility.  Honestly, John Morgan, I’m not sure how you don’t crack under the pressure sometimes :)

For those of you who were at my presentation, and for those of you who missed it, here are the slides below:

And, (insert shameless plug) if you’re looking for a podcast delivered daily with a bite-sized chunk of WordPress goodness… feel free to subscribe to the WordPulse podcast!

Oh, and here’s the video from NewsChannel5 in Nashville.  I *think* I’m up on stage giving the presentation… can’t tell, though.

Thanks so much Mitch for posting your SlideShare presentation. I'll definitely be referring back to it.

And, I really enjoyed meeting you in person yesterday. I look forward to getting to know you and your wife better.

Again, thanks very much. You've been so helpful.

John,

Thanks. She's taking a week to focus and get all of her ducks in a row (and spend some quality time with the baby) and then she's hitting the road hard. She has another contract in negotiations for pro-blogging, so she's off to a FANTASTIC start.

I'm so proud :)

Mitch,

There's a great amount of honor & responsibility with it all. And you carry yourself with both! Heard your presentation was awesome! Glad to finally meet in person. I forgot to tell Holli congrats on not being 'stuck' anymore. So nice to meet both of you.

Thanks a lot for slides, we always see you presentation skills in many events.

Wow.. The podcamp definitely seemed incredible. Really wished I could've been there. I actually might sign up for worldpulse, so I won't miss out anymore!
Excellent stuff! thanks!!

I'll be moving to Nashville soon (from Columbus Ohio) and am glad I found your web site. I'm moving to the Riverbridge subdivision. I'm a folk music fan and hope to find some folk bans in the area. I'll be a regular visitor here, thanks.

Cool, it seems Peanut Butter and Jelly is big in the States too :-) I enjoyed the Wordpress slideshow, but i do need to make more use of Podcasting in the future, if it is so popular. I'll try to adapt your ideas for my artblog.

Am off to Nashville in the summer and can't wait! Will go to plenty of music venues when there.

I like the idea of using wordpress for full website designs, it doesn't take long to design and build a theme for it and the content managed content actually looks ok. We have always tended away from full CMS as there is too much scope to ruin a good site design.

I wish we had a decent podCamp equivelant here in the UK, I'd have liked to have seen your presentation.

I've been meaning to go to Nashville for a while because of its strong roots and ties to music. Now that I find they have an active Social Web / Web 2.0 community, it makes me want to go even more!

I'm sure there will be - they do social media camps like this all the time.

Will there be more events in nashville like this again?

thanks for the slides, they look like a hoot. pity I missed the talk, though, the slide by themselves just aren't the same.

It cool how you the mass media is following podcasting. Sounds like it would have been an interesting event.
