David Buchanan of Coefficient Media has a brilliant idea - turn this site into a community site for Podcamp Michigan 2 for 2009.
I am going to transfer this domain, Twitter account and the YouTube over to him in a minute so he can start the good work to make this happen in 2009. Hopefully all the folks who attended the first Michigan Podcamp will be there also with ideas and help to make the next Podcamp even a bigger success.
Here they are on YouTube. I am uploading them on every free moment I am getting this week - so just suscribe to the YouTube channel if you want to get notified once the new ones are up.
Developing your Personal Brand 2.0 (YU.0) by Hajj Flemings, tomorrow morning at 10am at Podcamp Michigan 1:
This session is designed for those seeking the steps required to develop a strong personal brand in a 2.0 world of copy cats by using the Seven Degrees of personal branding from my book, ‘The Brand YU Life.’ You will leave the session with a clear understanding of how to strategically integrate Passion, Mission, and Social Media into your brand. It’s time to Re-Position. Re-Define. Re-Think who you are.

Just wanted to clairfy - Podcamp Michigan is not being held in a “hotel room”. It is a hotel conference room. My mistake in not clarifying it before because some folks emailed me about it. Here are some pictures on how the room looks like although we will not have the swanky table/chair covers that this wedding had.
The enclosed lobby where I am getting more networking tables set.
Conference Room
I would post here more often if somebody can point me to a great Wordpress theme. 
I dont think I can take the default theme for another week. Seen any themes recently that you liked, preferably free themes for Wordpress that we can use at Podcamp Michigan blog?
