I’m a little late with this post but Time Magazine’s Person of the Year is a good sign for the Podcast and New Media Expo. I am steering the Expo to be a central event where content creators (like podcasters) will network and learn how to create more compelling media.

I think there is going to be tremendous demand for education in this area and I want the Expo to be the “go-to” place for that. There is definitely a learning curve for creating audio and video (I know - I’ve been learning Sony Vegas for the past couple of weeks and it’s been…interesting) and as more people decide to create media, the Expo will benefit in both attendee and exhibitor numbers.
