Apologies to attendees but after some delay with sorting out the spaces available at the venue, the schedule is now finished! If you’d like to download a copy now, minus the guide, you can find it here.
The guide will be released with full descriptions of sessions as soon as we get some final details in.
Speakers, please review your sessions, if you have any questions about your scheduled sessions, please let me know ASAP.

The tickets for those who would like to attend the party for Podcamp Boston 5 on Saturday night, but aren’t attending the conference can be found at the link below.
(If you registered for Podcamp Boston 5, you DO NOT need to purchase one of these tickets.)
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!

Some goofing off…
…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!

I very much hope to see you at Podcamp Boston 5 on September 25-26th, 2010 at the Microsoft N.E.R.D Center. Year 5 is going to be a great celebration of how far things have come and we’d love to have you join us for the fun.

And fast before they run out!
This year’s venue was donated on behalf of our friends at Microsoft N.E.R.D. and as a result there’s a wee bit limited seating this year for PCB5 with only 200 tickets available. We’re releasing the first batch of 100 tickets today.
Just go over to our Eventbrite page and get crackin’.
If you miss out today, we’ll be announcing the next batch at a later date. Just subscribe to our feed for updates!
So many details to share and so many more to come.

As we enter a new chapter of PodCamp, we’d like to look to the future and help you to do the same, so this year our theme is Preparing for the Future.
