A discussion about corporate and business podcasting with tips and guidelines

Unfortunately, what you said is very true - it took some time to change the International Podcasting Expo site - my bad. It was a one woman show first time around, and clean up was slow. I submitted all of the results of the Expo to PodcastingNews.com, but they never posted it. They will be posted, however, in the upcoming issue of Podcaster Central Magazine. In the meanwhile, I'll share them with you here, and on the site:

There were about 125 attendees, and we averaged a rotating 40 people per seminar (of which there were about 30), not bad for an expo which was put together in 6 weeks by one person. Now, we have a team of at least 10 people working on the Women's Podcasting Expo and the Fall International Podcasting Expo, so we are expecting this to be 5 - 10 times larger.

I would love to send you a complimentary CD of the first Expo, so you can experience the sessions, albeit 2nd hand. Just contact me at customerservice AT 1stpod.com.
