Upcoming: PodCampMontreal, Sept 11th, 12th

By Heri Aug 13th 2010 in Events, Marketing

PodCampMontréal, Montréal’s biggest social media conference is in one month ahead, sept 11th and 12th.

The event is organized as a camp, meaning everyone is invited to present, all in informal settings. The format has been proven successful, with sessions ranging from blog marketing, social media monetization to discussions on the future of media, or social media 101 sessions. This year’s edition will probably have interesting sessions on Twitter, new services like Foursquare, and I expect also sessions on social media for mobile.

But Sylvain Grand’Maison (QuebecBalado Fono), one of the original instigators of the event, presents it better than me:

If you are in Montréal Sept 11th and 12th, don’t miss PodCampMontréal. I have been to the last edition, with insightful tips and also a way to learn about the latest trends, but as everyone knows, it’s a great way to meet in the corridors all the bloggers, journalists, new media citizens and influences from Montréal and other cities.
