On Sunday, January 25 Halifax, NS will be showing its true colours as the interactive, wired city that it has quickly become.  The inaugural Podcamp Halifax being held at Alderney Landing will feature blogs, wikis, podcasts and online video as its stars, bringing in experts and hobbyists alike to revel in social media’s glory.

A podcamp is meant to have an open, participatory, user-generated series of workshops dealing with all things related to the Internet.  The people who attend are the presenters. In typical Unconference style, audience members are encouraged to make the most of the experience by following their interests and allowing the conversation to flow both in and outside of the presentations.

Please contact Craig Moore at info[at]spidervideo.tv to become a sponsor of this amazing event.
