Interaction at PodCamp London

If you’ve attended an UnConference before, then you know that challenges of having so many great sessions available and only being able to be in once place at a time. That’s why Twitter comes in so handy. Many of the attendees will be tweeting about the sessions they’re in and tagging them with the hash tag #pclo10. You can follow PodCamp conversations from around the building and even learn something if you can’t be there in person.

Another challenge at conferences of all sizes is finding what sessions your friends and people you want to meet are attending. Enter Foursquare. At PodCamp London you’ll be able to check in to the various rooms and see who is sitting in the same session with you. If you’ve never used Foursquare before you’re going to want to sign up before Saturday.

The team at rtraction has built an amazing application that will bring together these two services in one awesome visual display that only gets better the more people use it. I don’t want to give away all the details, but the icon to the right is a clue about what you should expect to see! We’re confident that your going  to be impressed.

When you’re in the lobby at PodCamp you’ll be able to watch as people interact, converse and learn, around the Convergence Centre through the power of digital media and mobile devices.  Be sure to stop and chat with the team at rtraction for a full demonstration of how they made all  this possible.

Another note of thanks to rtraction for the time that they’ve graciously donated that’s allowed the organizing team to pull together PodCamp London.

As always, PodCamp could never have been possible without the support of our community sponsor; TechAlliance!
