The Blog World Expo and New media Expo 2009 is different than most events you've probably attended. Here, you won't find any boring panels with boring speakers pitching their own companies and pontificating about the business-side of the business. The Expo is a hands-on, exciting, "how-to" event with practical conference sessions about how to produce high-quality online audio and video content, grow a loyal audience, and market or monetize that content in creative ways.

A PodCamp is a usually free BarCamp-style community UnConference for new media enthusiasts and professionals including bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, social networkers, and anyone curious about new media. The first PodCamp was held September 8-10, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. PodCamps are now being held worldwide.
