We have lots of details yet to work out, but as part of our new not-for-profit project, we’ll be launching the Podcast Academy at the Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference in November. Most of the Podcast Academy’s activities will be online, but we’re taking advantage of this most-important podcasting event of the year to conduct a full day of face-to-face training.

The conference starts officially on Friday, November 11, but if you show up one day early on November 10th, you’ll learn tips, techniques, strategies and tactics from some of the world’s experts in podcasting. The full curriculum and list of instructors will be announced shortly. The cost of attending the all-day Podcast Academy is $50 per person, and includes refreshments and a box lunch. Attendance is limited to the first 100 people who register.

This first in-person session from the Podcast Academy will be held in conjunction with the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, November 11 & 12 in Ontario, California. The Podcast Academy’s all-day curriculum will be held the day before the Expo on Thursday. November 10th at the Ontario Marriott (across the street from the Convention Center). The Podcast Academy is a not-for-profit project of IT Conversations. This event is underwritten by IT Conversations and the producers of the Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference.

Update: The curriculum is not yet full, so if there’s a topic you’d like us to cover or an intructor you think we should invite, please let me know.
