Media Camp Nottingham

I have been invited to be part of the steering group for Nottingham based digital media event Media Camp. The following is a description from the wiki:
Media Camp Nottingham is a free one day event for digital media professionals wanting to share and expand their knowledge, and businesses or social enterprises who are curious about the digital phenomenon wanting to learn more.
This event is to share, explore, challenge and build understanding in digital media. Veterans and new comers alike can learn about audio and video podcasting, blogging, web marketing, graphics, email campaigns, Second Life, Twitter and other social media tools.
This event is coordinated through online collaborative working using a wiki. http://mediacampnottingham.pbwiki.com
Although it has an air of the geek about it, I think it will be hugely useful to businesses wanting to increase their online exposure but are unsure of how social media networking operates. The event spans Saturday 9th May (9am to 5pm sessions with a live performance at 5.30pm and social time from 8pm onwards) and Sunday 10th May (11am to 2pm for coffee and review) and is held at Lace Market House.
I’m off to a meeting to finalise details later today; if you come to the event please say hello :)
