It’s official! The night before PodCamp Ohio we will be hosting Ignite Columbus. We’re thinking of calling it Ignite Columbus presents: Ignite Ohio or some other such fun thing. The PodCamp Ohio organizing crew has been working to try to bring extra value and fun to your PodCamp experience. This special Ignite will be from 6 to 8pm on Friday June 19th, in the same space as PodCamp Ohio.

We contacted the Ignite Columbus organizers and invited them to use our space for their next event and they have accepted. This event is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. All PodCamp Ohio attendees are welcome to join in the fun of Ignite.

Don’t know what Ignite is? Ignite is an evening of 5 minute presentations that cover a range of topics people are passionate about.  Presenters use a deck of 20 slides that advance every 15 seconds. Many who attended Ignite events come away with new information, new friends and maybe even the spark of a new idea.

Here is my favorite presentation from the most recent Ignite Columbus Event:

We are thrilled to be working with Dan Rockwell, Alvin Borromeo and the rest of the Ignite Columbus crew to bring you this fun evening of entertainment. Between Ignite and PodCamp Ohio, the weekend is sure to leave you with a lot of information and fresh ideas for enhancing your own new media and social media experience.

If you would like to present at the Ignite event, please watch their website for details on how to sign up. All presentations will need to use the Ignite template so it is important that you register to present and receive instructions. We will be posting more details here as they develop.

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at this event and the next day at PodCamp Ohio.

PodCamp Ohio is proud to be sponsored by AssistCoach.

In this age of Social Media Marketing and business survival, every entrepreneur needs “Results Driven Sales Training” to be successful.

At AssistCoach.com we help you leverage Social Media and coach you on using the best tools to connect with prospects and clients. Plus, we help you to overcome the fear of using the telephone by applying the best and proven techniques for closing sales.

Sales is a skill that must be learned, much like learning to play the piano. You will never master it in one day, but you will learn with practice and by  having a teacher that understands the principles and timing.

Most entrepreneurs are not good at closing sales. But with a little coaching, you can learn to master these skills and best practices very quickly! With our unique program, we can teach you over the phone, through social networking and with videos on the Internet.

Call us at 614-429-4832 to see how we can assist you with prospecting, social networking, and your business strategy. Or visit our website at http://assistcoach.com for more information.

June is just a quick few months away, and already people are buzzing about PodcampOhio2. With 12 sessions set up thus far and people registering to attend, PodcampOhio2 is ramping up fast.

Attendees know that, though the sessions are chock-full of interesting tidbits, advice and jaw-dropping revelations, as much fun can be had roaming and chatting with those waiting on their sessions or just hanging out in the common areas. Conversations don’t drag here, they inspire. Looking forward to it!

Thanks to Angelo and Brandice for joining The Doctor Anonymous Show and talking about Podcamp Ohio. Angelo gave an update on sessions, registration, and sponsors.

Brandice and Angelo talked through with me a possible session that I would do talking about medicine and new media. Do you have an interest in health and medicine? Do you have any suggestions for me as far as things that you would like to see? Angelo made a suggestion about talking about health/medicine resources out there.

I encourage you to check out the video post above and you can also listen to the show on the player here or even download the show to listen to anytime. Thanks to everybody who joined me live and those who will listen on the archives. I appreciate it!
