Nice all star lineup at the Swedish American Hall (above Cafe DuNord). I'll be leading a Podcasting 101 workshop. We'll build an ass-kicking podcast on the fly. Seriously.

WEBZINE is a real world, face-to-face celebration of independent publishing on the Internet. It's part panel discussions and speakers, part workshops and much freeform collaboration, schmoozing and after-party boozing. The panel discussions aim to inspire, the workshops are hands-on forums of learning and the Master's Lounge is the unstructured place to share knowledge, ideas and URLs. DIY to its core, Webzine is rooted in zine culture and the love of making our own media.
