I’m inviting you to attend a podcasting party, an educational forum for content producers and a keynote with some famous podcasters/vidcasters next week in San Francisco at the ad:tech conference.

Everything is free! It’s hosted by ad:tech and the Association for Downloadable Media. I’ll be at all three events and would love to see you there.

Whether you are currently hosting a show or thinking about creating one, the programming about monetizing content is helpful and the attendees are great for networking and learning more from the most successful talent in the industry.

You must pre-register to get your badge here.

It’s free for keynotes/exhibit hall and the ADM Forum.

The Podcaster Super Star Keynote

Keynote: Internet Superstar, Live at ad:tech
There’s a whole lot more to Web video than just Star Wars kids and cats riding donkeys. The spectacle of user generated content is being augmented and supplanted by professionally produced short and long-form programs that are delivering high-quality repeatable experiences that are aggregating big audiences – in many cases surpassing the audiences of many cable TV shows. Predominantly viewed by the coveted 18 to 34-year -old demographic, these shows provide information, entertainment and inspiration that’s outside of normal video formats. In this special closing keynote, we bring this new world of video-based entertainment to you, with a special taping of the popular Internet talk show “Internet Superstar”. We’ll show you what this new world of Web video programming looks like, introduce you to four of the hottest stars of the new media, and explore how you can leverage these programs to deliver tremendous benefit to your clients and your company. It’ll be a wild, no-holds barred hour of pure entertainment – with a good deal of useful information tossed into the mix as well. Discover the future of television, by attending this rollicking live Internet Superstar!
