User-created content is changing the business landscape of media. The sessions at PodCamp Philly focus on educating individuals and companies about how to produce high quality digital content, grow a loyal audience, and market or monetize that content in creative ways.
You can. Yes, you. Everyone can. Unlike a regular conference where speaking slots are allotted only to the highest bidder, Unconferences are by you, for you. If you don't see a session here that you want, create one and present it! Share what you know and your fellow participants will do the same.

Simply put: your experience at PodCamp is what you want it to be. At any time, if you're not learning what you want to learn, if you're not getting what you need, you have every right to depart the session you're in and move to a different one, or none at all.
