PodCamp Philly is taking place this weekend. It coincides with the first anniversary of the inaugural PodCamp event, PodCamp Boston.

Besides the usual suspects, there are a lot of names on the registration page that I have never seen before. That registration page is now 300 strong.

I was originally planning to do two presentations; one on Return on Influence and another about people being the magic ingredient (co-presenting with Andy Bilodeau). During the summer I was asked to reprise my PodCamp Toronto presentation on Editing Techniques, and add another on Podcasting ideas and mistakes. So, I’ll be pretty busy this weekend.

If you have any questions relating to my presentation topics, please drop a comment on this post and I will try to factor them in to my sessions.

I have launched yet another project. Steve Hardiman and I are collaborating to explore the Return On Influence, and the elements that make it such a powerful idea. While the website is somewhat embryonic, still, we officially posted our first entry this evening.

I’ve been chatting with Whitney Hoffman for the last hour as we prepare for our PodCamp Toronto discussion called Making a difference: What Return on Influence (ROI) really means.  She just made me crack up by referring to the many Podcast related conferences that we all flock to as Geekstock.  When I wondered aloud if that’s what we should call the music festival portion of Podcasters Across Borders, Whitney suggested that we’d all be waving our thumb drives in the air.
