5:00pmET today… that’s the deadline to submit your proposal to deliver a Jolt at Podcasters Across Borders 2008 (PAB2008)

A Jolt is an 5-minute session during which the you will wake-up the imaginations, brains and collective energy of the community. Successful proposals will identify how you will present new ideas for innovation in content, production, tools and activities (real and virtual). This is a chance for you to inspire others 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, connecting and collaborating.

Email your proposal to podcastersacrossborders@gmail.com by 5pmET today. We’ll announce the selected proposals next week.

Jolt speakers will not be compensated.
