DEFCON 17 - PCM Goes "Unofficial"

The Podcaster's Meetup has become an "Unofficial" official event at DEFCON! We have a lot in the works right now and I wish I could update ya'll on everything that is going on but I will once things solidify. What IS solid, is that we will be there, and that we will be in a Skybox either Friday or Saturday night. For more rapid updates check us out on the DEFCON forums: https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=470

Podcaster's Meetup @ ShmooCon Final Update

We are on Twitter @  http://twitter.com/podcastmeetup

First I want to thank everyone for their support. Without it, this event wouldn't be possible. We have added two new sponsors since the last time I sent an email out: Brawndo and Astaro. We have also changed the schedule around a bit: 

New Schedule (FRIDAY NIGHT - Feb 6 - ):

1930 - 2000 - Setup time

2000 - 2100 - Live show (afterward is a transition / book signing)

2100 - 2200 - FireTalks (Jack Daniel and Chris Gates have the first two slots, 2 more available)

2200 ———- HacDC party

SATURDAY NIGHT - FireTalks will start at 2000 and go until the fire dies down.

As you can see, we are crashing the HacDC party to close out the night. More information can be found here: http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php?title=Shmoocon_Party

The address is: 1525 Newton St NW, Washington DC 20010 USA - (Near corner of 16th and Newton NW)

About 1.7 miles from the Wardman Park. They have room and booze, so it's going to be worth the drive or walk.

It's what plants crave!

I would like to proudly announce that Brawndo is now an official sponsor of the Podcasters Meetup at ShmooCon. Also, as many of you have noticed, the schedule overlaps quite a bit, including the keynote. We are working numbers right now on how we can best include all of the events, and not overlap the main event, ShmooCon. 1 more week, and I'm already stressed to the max. I feel sorry for all of the Shmoo group. -- Rob

Podcaster’s Meetup @ ShmooCon Update 2

Just some quick fixes:

1. Yes, I know I spelled Hewlett wrong. Thank you for the onslaught of emails. I get it.
2. We would like to welcome Phone Losers of America and SMBMinute to the line up!
3. The meetup and the schedule presented is for Friday night. The FireTalks will be the only part of the event that will repeat on Saturday night.
4. We have a new sponsor, Trusted Signal.

I will update the Update 1 post with the details so people don't have to check out 2 posts for the details.
