Podcasters Across Borders

As part of PAB2008, we are introducing a new presentation series called “Jolts”. A Jolt is meant to wake up the imaginations, brains and collective energy of the community.

Essentially, we are looking for proposals for timed five-minute talks that put new ideas into the community for innovation in content, production, tools and activities (real and virtual). This is a chance for someone to inspire the community or make a pitch to collaborate to improve upon an existing idea or tool, or launch a new one.

Jolts CANNOT be used to sell a product or service, or launch a business venture. They are meant to get people thinking, talking and connecting.

We are accepting submissions via email (podcastersacrossborders@gmail.com) until 5pmET on April 30, 2008. Then we’ll go through the submissions and select our favourites for the actual conference. Jolt speakers will not be compensated.
