We are in the process of finalizing the PAB2009 program.  Among the delays in publishing the program is a series of changes, several of them have come about in the last week.

The first of the significant changes is with the video production workshop.  IMAX Cinematographer and Director of Photography, Mark Poirier, was scheduled to conduct that workshop.  Unfortunately (for us), Mark has been called away to capture the maiden flights of Boeing’s new Dreamliner on IMAX film.  Our very own Paul Lyzun (who was looking forward to attending Mark’s session) is stepping in to take over the workshop.

If you’re interested in telling stories through video and you want your camcorder to produce footage that looks better, come to this session, Friday afternoon at PAB2009.  Paul will cover topics including getting the most out of available light, framing the best shot, shooting for the edit, creative editing techniques  and lots of other dos and don’ts that will turn surveillance footage into something watch-able.  Bring your camera and any video you would like to share.

We’re busy tweaking the schedule and making some last minute changes to the program.  Thanks for your patience.

We’ve updated the the PAB2008 program to reflect a minor change in the speaking program, block in the Jolt speakers and more clearly identify the recommended eateries and watering holes on the map.

The program includes the conference schedule and session descriptions, information about Kingston and recommended eateries (thanks to the Limestone New Media Group for their help) and a big thank you for our amazing sponsors.

Instead of printing the program this year, we’re making it available as a PDF download.  If you would like a hardcopy, be sure to print one out for yourself.

This is the first in a series of ‘prepare-yourself-for-PAB2008′ posts as we move from counting down the weeks to counting down the days to start of this year’s conference.

We have decided to save a few trees this year. That means that instead of printing the PAB2008 program, we’re making it available as a PDF download. The program includes the conference schedule and session descriptions, information about Kingston and recommended eateries (thanks to the Limestone New Media Group for their help) and a big thank you for our amazing sponsors.

The next milestone will be counting down the hours.

Registration for the third annual Podcasters Across Borders conference opens at midnight, tonight.  The cost is CDN$125/person.

PAB2008 is happening June 20-22, 2008 in Kingston, Ontario (Canada). Your registration includes three days of workshops and sessions, social events, a hot and cold buffet lunch (including vegan selections), a boat cruise and more. Even though conference space is limited to 160 people, Kingston is a great family-oriented town and an increasing number of PABbers are bringing their partners and children along for a vacation. As such, the boat cruise is open to PAB families and partners (please reserve space).

Information on this year’s conference location, accommodations, program and social events is available on the PAB2008 information page.  Information on previous conferences is available on the Previous PABs webpage.  There is also a catalog of (freely available) recorded sessions from PAB2006 and PAB2007.
