If you want to give back as well as develop your network, we invite you to join our ranks by becoming a PodCamp Montreal 2010 volunteer.

Caroline Fontaine is back this year to coordinate our team of volunteers and our event logistics. Feel free to send her a note confirming your availability and contact information. She’ll followup with a schedule tailor made for you.

As was the case in previous years, we’re pleased to welcome students, who benefit from this rich networking experience, but we’re happy to have everyone who wants to contribute on board to help us make PodCamp a success.

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!
