Podcastcon UK, London
Saturday November 18, 2006
CCT Smithfield
2 East Poultry Avenue
London, England EC1A 9PT Get Directions
It started with PodcastCon UK 2005, which broke new ground as both Europe’s first podcasting conference and as the world’s first dedicated podcasting conference.

True to the independent spirit of podcasting, four people — who had never met in person — created a conference to bring together podcasters, enthusiasts, tech-watchers, the media and many others. It was a gathering as diverse as it was vibrant and entertaining.
What was originally envisioned as a handful of folks in a pub grew to a sponsored event in a posh London meeting room with 140 attendees gathered from all around the world. Live demos, speakers, and lots of social networking made it a day to remember.

PodcastCon Programme

The conference not only attracted people from all over the globe, but created a buzz online in the blogosphere, podosphere, and generated media coverage from The Guardian, Financial Times, The Times, the BBC, not to mention many regional and technology publications.

Following feedback from last year, PodcastCon 2006 will include more time for everyone attending to network, chat, discover and inspire each other. What’s more there’ll be top quality insight and discussion sparked by a sparkling array of panellists.

Finally, we also hope to have demos of techniques, kit and much more for those attending wanting hands-on advice.

PodcastCon remains a non-profit conference, run and organised by professionals who also happen to be podcasters. The aim of the conference is to bring together all those interested in podcasting, whatever their background, to share their knowledge and enthusiasm and to learn something new and inspire each other.

Book now and don’t miss the second annual PodcastCon - the only dedicated podcasting conference held in the UK this year.

Venue looks fine. Google Maps UK finds it okay.

When you get a moment you might want to edit the bit at the bottom of the description as that still says The Art House.

Hi, I'm one of the organisers. We'll post a link on the PodcastCon 2006 website at www.podcastcon.co.uk so that others attending can add themselves to the list here.

Nicole, I know you'll be in the US by now (I think), but if you could copy some of the blurb from our main site into the above, that would be cool.

(Can't quite figure out whether I can edit the event details myself!)

Really plesed that Cheeze have agreed to be lead sponsors of PodcastCon this year.

Check out www.podcastcon.co.uk for more details.

They seem to be a good bunch, they've got some cool social things planned for the day and it does mean me, Paul, Neil and Adrian won't have to sell our grandmothers.

We're up to about 70 people confirmed as attending - more than this time last year. It looks like it's going to be another very mixed crowd, something which made last year's event so much fun, I reckon.

Hello everybody! Coming from Italy I'll have to stay 2 nights over there. Can anybody suggest a hotel in the vicinity of the event?
Posted 6 years ago
Would suggest you try these sites:

http://www.superbreak.com
http://www.activehotels.co.uk
http://www.ibishotel.com/
http://www.accorhotels.com/

I'm staying at the Swinton Hotel, 18-24 Swinton Street, London WC1X 9NX (it's near Kings Cross). Phone: 44 20 7278 2033

I booked through the Active Hotels site. It's my first time staying there, so I can't directly recommend it, though it seemed okay from the website.

Some nice exhibitors now including Nokia, HHB who'll be demoing audio kit and mics and Mobipod who'll be showing off their mobile podcasting technology ...

3 live bands as well ...

go on ... you know you want to ;)

I've signed up, paid and will be attending as a listener (would be podcaster) again. I may be wearing a fairly loud shirt again. Hope to see you all there.
Posted 6 years ago
Good to see listeners and aspiring podcasters coming along too. You'll be most welcome :)

We're up to just over 150 attending now which we're delighted about. Really looking forward to it now!
