Details about PAB2010 and preferred, returning rates will be worked out following PAB09.
We asked Connie Crosby how her session, We Are All Shanachies, challenges prevailing thought.
My session will place podcasting squarely into a long traditional history, but hopefully give a new twist or two. It will also be revealing some new attitudes from the library world. I usually bring ideas I learn from social media people to librarians, and now I get to turn the tables and bring some things learned by librarians to the podcasters.
Some secondary hopes I have are to inspire other women to put themselves forward to speak in these kinds of settings, and maybe break down one or two librarian stereotypes at the same time. A tall order!
Connie will be speaking at 11:00am on Sunday, June 21 as part of the PAB09 program.
With the exception of the organizers, Jay Moonah has served in more roles at PAB than anyone else. Besides being a “lifer” of the conference, Jay’s been a committed participant, musician and presenter. This year, he’ll make his debut in the JOLT! part of the PAB09 program.
JOLT!s were introduced in 2008 to wild enthusiasm. They’re 5-minute turbo talks designed to share a new idea, initiate collaborations or issue a call to action.
We asked Jay Moonah how his JOLT!, Search Engines and Trust, challenges prevailing thought.
I don’t know if there is much in the way of “prevailing thought” around the trust put in search engines. Simply put, many people trust them blindly. My reason for presenting at PAB is not so much about convincing the people in the room about the importance of critical though around search engine results (since most of them are extremely smart and naturally critical of the information they find) but rather to convince them to use their influence to get OTHERS thinking about this overlooked and increasingly important aspect of media/information literacy.
Jay also added “My goal in leading any session is always the same — first, to make people think and second, if they are so moved, to act.”
Jay will be JOLT!ing at 2:40pm on Saturday, June 20 as part of the PAB09 program.
We asked Marko Kulik how his session, A Good Picture is Worth a Thousand Words – Crash-Course and Quick Tips in Photography, challenges prevailing thought.
We all know that photos help explain and define a given context. With blogging for example it’s far easier to read and digest larger portions of text if they have some contextually relevant photography mixed in. That said, the quality of the photography should match the quality of the blog post. Blogging, podcasting and new media have developed to the point where quality content reigns supreme. There aren’t just a handful of podcasts or blogs; there are millions of them worldwide. Competition for brains, eyeballs and loyalty is fierce and the best way to maintain that loyalty is through quality. With a few photography tips, people can increase the quality of the images they take, thereby producing better and stickier content overall.
Marko will be speaking at 3:00pm on Saturday, June 20 as part of the PAB09 program.
We asked Chris Penn how his session, Why Monetization is Vital to New Media, challenges prevailing thought.
I want everyone to walk away with a much better understanding of money, value, and how it all relates to new media in a much bigger picture perspective than the usual “make money with your XXX” garbage that’s always floating around. Whatever the shiny object is, there’s always the used car salesmen looking for a fast buck and always some folks who are sustainably successful. By the time I’m done, I hope that the audience understands what it takes to be the latter. Do you know where money comes from, why it exists, and how it relates to your new media efforts?
Chris will be speaking at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 20 as part of the PAB09 program.
If you’ve been following the PAB2009 program closely you will have noticed that some of the speakers announced as part of the program back in March are no longer in the program. Yes. Sadly, we’ve had to accept some withdrawals.
Sylvain Grand’maison was going to deliver a session on the tradition of storytelling and had to withdraw due to a schedule conflict. We know it was a difficult decision for Sylvain, particularly since he is a community leader and an original PABster (his own podcasts came about after being part of PAB06).
Nancy Morris was selected to deliver a session on Narrative Psychology. Unfortunately, Nancy had to cancel due to health reasons. We wish her a speedy recovery.
IMAX Cinematographer and Director of Photography, Mark Poirier was scheduled to lead the video workshop on Friday afternoon. Mark had to withdraw when principal photography of the flight of the Boeing Dreamliner was rescheduled to coincide with PAB2009. Remember that when that movie comes out in your local IMAX theatre, Mark missed PAB to be a part of it.
UPDATED
We forgot to mention that Bruce Murray, who was going to deliver a JOLT!, had to cancel due to a schedule conflict.
