PodCamp Toronto ROCKED the podcasting world

25 February 2007 1 views 10 Comments

I’m back in the States again after a three day journey to Toronto, Ontario, Canada and PodCamp Toronto. What an absolutely amazing event this was – PodCamp Toronto (PCT) raised the bar in so many ways for what a PodCamp can be.

  • The energy of the crowd was eager and excited to learn
  • The sessions and presenters were fantastic, top notch quality
  • The lightning talks were equally amazing
  • Lots of great conversations deep into the night
  • Ryerson University stepped up and made it a venue to remember
  • And last but not least, the organizers did a fantastic job!

A few highlights that stuck out in my mind:

Major props go out to the organizers who made this PodCamp one for the record books:

Finally, I have say this – if I were a college student in Canada (a uni student to them), I couldn’t imagine why you’d want to go anywhere else except Ryerson University. What a fantastic school.

    Oh, how I wish I could’ve made it to the deep-into-the-night conversations. I was there ’till the end at Podcasters Across Borders last year, but this time round I had a new wee li’l one to attend to. Maybe I’ll be off the hook for PAB ‘07! I hope to see you there Chris.

    Hey, Chris, Podcamp Toronto was definitly richer from your presence. I am looking forward to listening to your sessions that I missed. You’re an amazingly talented guy!

    Many thanks to you all for your kind words. Everything I’ve made is built on the lessons learned and work done by those before me, so please give thanks to each other for sharing what you’ve created, too.

    I agree with Mitch on this – I think most people are still reeling from the sheer quantity and the audacity of the things you had to say. And I say ‘audacity’ in the sense that it was ground-breaking stuff for most of us; forcing a reflection and re-orientation.

    Really fantastic. Consider me subscribed (- and I’m finished with my student loans).

    Hey Chris,
    My only regret was not having more time to hang out and hear you present. However, thank goodness for the PodCamp crew and Ryerson who recorded everything. Now Podcamp can come to me on my couch!

    Hope to see you again soon.

    It was great to see you work your magic again Chris. Your willingness to share information is both appreciated and contagious. You rocked another PodCamp.

    Hope to see you again soon, keep in touch!

    Chris, it was so amazing that you made it. Having everyone was great of course, but having you, Brogan & Person from the original PodCamp crüe was particularly meaningful to me. It’s so terrific to help perpetuate this amazing thing you guys started.

    And always, your sessions rocked! You’d better have presentation notes with URLs for all them or I’m totally screwed! ;-)

    Thanks for coming to our town, see you soon my friend,
    - J.
