I just recently had a conversation with a Podcaster who was not aware that there are conferences, podcamps and meetups for podcasters to share knowledge and learn from each other. The biggest, but not the only, event may arguably be the New Media Expo coming this August in Las Vegas. In case you’re not aware of the New Media Expo or of the many others events occurring this year, I’ve listed them to the best of my ability below.

• PodCamp Nashville - February 9, 2008 (Tomorrow!)
• PodCamp MidWest (Kansas City) - February 15-16, 2008
• PodCamp Toronto 2 - February 23-24, 2008
• PodCamp Salt Lake City - March 15, 2008
• Podcamp DC - April 18-20, 2008

• PodCamp San Fransisco - January 18, 2009

Wait, there is more! I recommend doing a Google search and checking out meetup.com to see if there are regional podcaster meetups in your area.

So if you’re interested in meeting fellow podcasters, sharing knowledge and making new friends, I would encourage you to make it out to at least one of these events.
