Podcamp Co-founder Chris Brogan said “To me, PodCamp is a secret training camp. We get people to come because they want an internet marketing training course to learn about tools and software. But when people get to PodCamp, we show them what it’s really all about: people. The tools are just bridges. PodCamp shows you how to use them, sure, but it also shows you how to use them in a way that engages people. And around the classes, we connect you up with your new-found friends and peers, strengthening the experience.” Click here for a full schedule of sessions .
