After months of holding the news back, it’s my pleasure to announce that the Podcamp Boston 5 afterparty will feature Paul Durham from Black Lab for a live acoustic set. In 2005, Black Lab was the band featured in Bum Rush the Charts, an effort made to make an independent artist #1 on iTunes. The party will take place Saturday night from 6-9 pm at the Revolution Rock Bar.
If you are registered to attend PCB5, your ticket is included in the cost of attending the conference. At a later date, we will be releasing some tickets for those who cannot attend the conference but would like to drop by for the afterparty and networking. Look for an update here or on Twitter @podcampboston!

Everyone’s been wondering where the “agenda” for Podcamp is. We have people signing up their sessions but they haven’t been laid out into a schedule as of yet.
However, if you click the Agenda button in the navigation bar, you’ll be taken to a list of sessions currently submitted.
If you want to submit a session, you must be registered to attend the conference and make a submission after registration is complete.
We have a group rate of $189 per night. To reserve your room with the group rate, go to the official hotel/PCB5 event page. We only have a block of 10 rooms for each night so make your reservations early.
If you have questions, please let us know ASAP.
Here’s a map with walking directions to help you find your way.
…oh, no wait, Justin was just being awkward for the very first Podcamp Boston, don’t mind him.
Really what happens is a lot of sharing knowledge and learning. The majority of people who attend are new to the world of podcasting, social media and digital media creation. Last year 75% of the people who attended Podcamp Boston 4 were new to the event. They had questions ranging from the beginner level to the advanced. The more advanced usually teach and share what they know and what can make it easier for others to refine their knowledge and move forward and it’s like that all weekend long.
There *are* parties but we keep them pretty low key. Though this year’s is getting me pretty excited. Yeah I’m still teasing, because we’re still hammering out the details.
The hotel contract is almost settled so I should be posting the URL specific for Podcamp Boston 5 for bookings in the next couple of days when the hotel gets the page set up. I’m waiting to post the details in a separate post.
Most of all people have been asking about what sessions are going on. If you want to know the details of sessions registered so far, click this shiny link. If you want to register to present, click this shiny link instead.
Oh and we’re looking for sponsors! If you’re company would like to help us sponsor the after party, please get in touch!

We’d like to have a podcasting specific track this year so anyone that can talk about that subject on different levels please submit and share your knowledge, as usual you can submit any topic that’s related to social media and podcasting. If you have a question, send it over via the contact form.
Once we start getting sessions listed, the spreadsheet will be published on the schedule page. We will not have days and times for sessions for a while but as soon as we start laying it out I’ll post a heads up here.
