It’s official. PodCamp Montreal is a success. We had 384 participants on site, and 731 unique visitors checking out our live stream throughout the weekend. While our American friends were more likely to follow us on the livestream this year, we were thrilled to attract a greater number of locals to this year’s event, given that our mission is to encourage and promote the use of social media by Montrealers. Our schedule was nicely divided between French and English presentations, and the Montreal sun came out to grace us with its presence, which is always nice when you’re sitting on the great terrasse at l’UQAM’s Design School where PodCamp was held for a second consecutive year.

PodCamp Montreal is a labour of love that doesn’t happen overnight. The organising committee has been working tirelessly since spring on sponsorship, communications and logistics, not to mention climbing into bed together to produce a rockin’ promotional video. The sacrifices we make for social media!

It’s been great to get all your positive feedback and suggestions for next year. Thanks for coming, for supporting the development of social media in Montreal and hope to see you in 2010!

Our thanks to our sponsor, Fairmont Hotels, for giving us access to Suite 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth, and for letting us move the mattress and furniture around to create our version of that magic moment 40 years ago.

Remember that Fairmont is offering PodCamp Montreal attendees a special rate for the weekend of September 19th and 20th. If you’re interested in walking the same hallways as John and Yoko, email PodCamp Montreal organising committee member Laurent Maisonnave at laurent@zelaurent.com for details.

Pssst… We’re working on a surprise for PodCamp Montreal attendees that involves the famous suite at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel. It’s going to be great. Stay tuned.
