Hi there Chris,
I just need to shout out that it really sucks that I will mess this event. Would have loved to attend.

I know that the event will be a great success but will keep my fingers crossed for you anyway.

Plus that I will try to follow online as much as possible.

Cheers, Daniel

Another great place to order business cards is www.bizcard.com. Bizcard offers professional designs and also allows you to upload your own image or logo free of charge.

Can't wait. Chris, I have a beer with your name on it.

As far as business card Tips, I print my own own using Avery's "Clean Edge Business Cards". They look very good and are extremely cheap and I only have to print as much as I need and can change the look of them at a moments notice.

PodCamp presenters looking for more free advice & info to help you prepare:

1) I *promise* to create a special post with presentations tips going into the event.

2) In the meanwhile take the topic "presentation skills" http://gpmb.wordpress.com/c... on my blog and run with it. Or if you prefer less to read, just hit "this is how you do it" http://gpmb.wordpress.com/c....

3) I'm also looking at doing a live "call-in" show on BlogTV or BlogTalkRadio for your Q&A on presenting at PodCamp.

4) And Sunday morning I'll do a whole session on presentation skills for podcasters "Presenting... Your Audience!"

I look forward to meeting YOU there!

All good ideas, Chris.

It's all about the interaction, isn't it? (As in, does anyone really need PowerPoint or whatever to deliver the message better than a solid look-the-audience-in-the-eye-and-talk-WITH-them can convey?)

As you do, I wish us all the encouragement and empowerment to participate and not to hide behind a podium or the person sitting in front of them.

And to that end... It doesn't hurt simply to state your name and your podcast at the beginning of a question from the audience - it tells people who you are (especially if you're not presenting, and even moreso if the stream is working!), and it helps them connect a name and a podcast with a face. Who knows, they may have come to Boston just to meet you!

I'll wave from across a crowded room, Chris,
-L.

Do you know how hard it's going to be for me to go if the Sox win? That's about two generations of my family that would be rolling over in their graves for such treason.

Thanks for the useful post, Chris.

On the internet access angle, do you know if EVDO works deep in the conference center? Or do you know anyone who would know?

I really want to have net access if possible so I can do a live streaming demo.
