Finally I get to go to Las Vegas
I thought I would never get an excuse to go to Las Vegas. There would always be more interesting places in the world to travel from Copenhagen, Denmark, where I live.
But Tim and Emile Bourquin just revealed on the show Podcastbrothers, which is the official podcast for Newmediaexpo, that the show in 2008 will move to Las Vegas.
I belong to the people who have advised the organizers to stay in Ontario, California. It is remote, which makes it possible to focus on the EXPO and the conference. If the show moves to Las Vegas, and now it is decided, people will probably disappear more into the other attractions in the city. But Tim Bourquin made a point in the show: If the show stays in Ontario people, who are not already convinced about podcasting as a disrupting media, will think that it is some local, remotely placed phenomenon. Being in Las Vegas, and showing the buzz all we dedicated and enthusiatic podcasters can make, might bring more attention to podcasting.
So, Tim, count on me - August 14th - 16th 2008 - and ofcourse September 28th-30th 2007 - in Ontario. Can´t wait.
Thanks for the support Karin - I assure you we are working very hard to keep the “small town” feel when we move to Las Vegas!
See you soon,
Tim
