Despite
over 14,000 podcasts at the PodcastingNews Directory, Apple's 4th
quarter iPod shipments topping 14 million, and the term 'podcast' being
declared Word of the Year for 2005 by the New Oxford American
Dictionary, podcasting remains a relatively unknown concept. Utilizing
an online Virtual Expo Center, the International Podcasting Expo will
make Podcasting information, resources and services available to anyone
with an internet connection.
(PRWEB) March
21, 2006 -- Podcasting is exploding. Apple shipped more than 14 million
iPods in its 2005 4th Quarter, according to Robert McMillan, IDG News
Service. Forecasters predict up to 60 million people will be
downloading podcasts by the year 2010.
What does this mean for podcasters? It means that their targeted
listening market is increasing every day. People with iPods, as well as
MP3 players, PDAs and Cell Phones with digital audio players, are
looking for quality content in their areas of interest.
Although the Podcasting Community includes such large organizations as
IBM, Oracle, Purina, Philadelphia Eagles, Purdue, Notre Dame, CBS,
Nintendo, and the NYPD, a majority of the world still has not heard the
word "podcast", nor does it understand podcasting's usefulness for
education and business, as well as entertainment.
The International Podcasting Expo,
April 21 - 23, 2006, hopes to change that. This online Podcasting Expo
will be a 48 hour, around-the-clock event, taking place within an
online Virtual Expo Center. Therefore, anyone in the world with an
Internet connection can attend.
Events will include a 48 hour live Podcast Marathon in a 500 person
cross-platform audio conference room, with Internet presentation and
recording capabilities. Podcast listeners can attend (and even
participate in) live podcasts with their favorite podcast
personalities. The recorded podcasts will be immediately posted on a
special Expo Podcast feed.
Expo Attendees can participate in seminars and conferences, which will
be held in another cross-platform audio conference room. All seminars
will be recorded and posted in the Seminar Library, so late-comers can
still review the sessions they missed.
Expo organizer, Penny Haynes, of 1st Podcast Publishing, wants this to
be a grass roots expo that allows any podcaster from any country to
participate. "The Expo is presently looking for international
podcasting hosts to lead seminars and conferences in their own
languages, so they can reach their own market during their own time
zone. These chosen International Hosts will receive a free Exhibitor
booth for their assistance in expanding the reach of podcasting around
the world."
The first Exhibitors to come on board include Kelly McCausey of Work At
Home Moms Talk Radio, Tammy Munson of Republican Women Talk Radio,
Shane Matsumoto of Paradigm Lost Productions, and Lisa Boyd of Zeteo
Solutions. The International Podcasting Expo is truly "By Podcasters
and For Podcasters."
