Video promos
Are you one of this year’s PodCamp Montreal speakers? If so, we want to hear from you… literally. Post a 2 minute video promoting your session on YouTube and/or Dailymotion with the words PodCamp Montreal 2008 in the title and join the tag pcmtl with the video. Send us a link and we’ll post it in our blog. A good way to get some pre-conference buzz going.
This is shaping up to be an awesome event. What a great line up and I’m very much looking forward to attending and learning.
Can I beg not to be scheduled at the same time as Tracy Apps? Can I beg?
@robblatt Don’t tell the other members of the organizing committee, but I’ll take bribes. Of course, a man begging at my feet is also often quite compelling.
The line up looks incredible (present company excluded, of course).
@Michelle, you’ll be getting a bribe from me later today.
You can beg all you want, it’s just going to make matter worse! I was JUST looking for someone to be schedule at the same time of Tracy…
Seriously thought, I’ll see what I can do, but we will mostly have 2 sessions simultanously : one in french, one in english.
If you are still looking for a hotel (Trylon is all booked up) then contact http://www.appartementstouristiques.com, it’s in the same building and they have rooms available. A bit more expensive ($105 per night for a studio apartment) but still a good deal for downtown.
Thanks! What a line up of sessions! I wish I spoke both languages.
The best bribe that I can offer is matching people to beer and jumping high fives. They are so precious that they can’t be bought.
I am looking for descriptions for the events… are they going to be listed soon?
We’ll be releasing the schedule later this week, with the description, etc.
