In an unconference like BlogOrlando (September 27-29, 2007 Rollins College), there aren't attendees and speakers, but simply participants and discussion leaders. This means that collectively, the people sitting in the audience, or even just one person from the audience, might know more about podcasting than myself. My session on podcasting falls into the "technology track". The other sessions include PR/Marketing, Media, Life/Local, and a keynote by Shel Israel. This is one of the most significant tech, media and PR events in the SouthEast, and it's very cheap and easy to attend. Don't miss out on the Thursday night dinner or the Saturday excursion to EPCOT.
