This past Saturday, the very first PodCamp Cleveland occurred at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center. PodCamp is an “un-conference” that is meant for business professionals, Internet marketing gurus, entrepreneurs, college students and high school juniors and seniors who are interested in learning and sharing information and tips about social media and Web 2.0 marketing.
The PodCamp was sponsored by the Cleveland SEO firm, Search Circus as well as a few other contributors, and attracted about 75 attendees, some from as far away as Canada. Sessions provided attendees tips on how to use blogs, email marketing, social media marketing, Twitter, podcasting and more for business, were offered for free at PodCamp Cleveland. Internet marketing tips galore were given at the sessions, which were taught by successful Web 2.0 experts who knew they had valuable knowledge and wanted to share. Even Search Circus CEO, Wendy Suto taught a session about understanding how to use SEO to increase Website traffic and gain more business.
Not only were business professionals able to learn about how to advance their business using Web 2.0 marketing, but they were also able to network with each other and by the end of the 7-hour day, many connections were made. PodCamp Cleveland 2010 was a great success and at the end of the day there many people who wanted to volunteer, sponsor or speak at PodCamp Cleveland 2011, which is set to be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011.
