Welcome | PodCamp South Africa

Speakers

You can. Yes, you. Everyone can!

Unlike a regular conference where speaking slots are allotted only to the highest bidder, Unconferences are by you, for you.

If you don’t see a session here that you want, create one and present it! Share what you know and your fellow participants will do the same.

If you want to speak at PodCampSA, please send Nico an email or add your name to the Wiki registration page.

Just to give you a heads up on how the presentations are going to work.

We’ll be setting up a whiteboard at the event with half hour slots on it you’ll then need to write your name in the appropriate slot. Since this is an unconference, and nothing formal what so ever, the time schedule is not strict at all, so when one speaker is finished, whether the speaker took 10 min or 30 min, the next one sets up and then starts. This will give some time between speakers so that attendees can relax, chat, and have a drink or two.

There are about 14 half hour slots available taking into consideration that we need to have some lunch and time to mingle too. But if we find that there are more than 14 who wish to speak, well, we’ll make a plan to fit everybody in or else break out into smaller sessions.

Please keep in mind the following:

1. The topic should be related to New Media.

2. Podcamp is about education and sharing, not advertising, so please do not view speaking at Podcamp as license to present an infomercial. You can talk about what you do and tools you use, but please make the focus about educating others, not just selling.

3. There is a focus on Education for Podcamp NYC 2.0 this year, and how we can use new media to rethink and reimagine the way we learn, not only in school but beyond. Can you contribute a session to this track?

4. We will place sessions into the schedule as we get closer to the event. If you have specific time constraints, let us know ASAP. Everyone will be allowed to speak as time and space allows.
