I just wrote an article for the PodCamp NYC wiki outlining ten reasons to attend the event. In actuality most of these reasons apply to any of the PodCamps and there are easily ten reasons for you to attend one close to you even if if you’re not able to come to NYC. If you were wondering what PodCamp was all about and if it was something for you, I’ve posted the article below.
NOTE: Please feel free to re-post or adapt this article for your own blog/site/wiki to promote this or other Podcamps.
1. To Network and Forge Valuable Connections
At any point during PodCamp NYC you’ll share the room with at least one person (if not a dozen) who can offer you huge value or solve a significant problem for you as a podcaster. It may be a sponsor. It may be a promotional opportunity. It may be someone you can interview. Bring lots of business cards and be ready to network.
2. To Associate with the Podcasting “Movers and Shakers”
Those who will attend PodCamp NYC are “in the trenches.”

Hi Jay!
Would love to have been able to attend Podcamp NYC but it’s a bit too far from Finland for me at this time. :-)
Any knowledge of a similar event in the Nordics perhaps…or even Europe in general?
You’ve got good content mate! Also have purchased your book. Good stuff! Not through it all yet but so far it contains some pretty good tips. Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Finland

Chris,
You can keep an eye on http://www.podcamp.org for a list of future PodCamps. Also, if you want one in your area, you can always organize it yourself. Anyone can do it.
