IABC ConferenceCast debuts

As reported earlier, Neville Hobson and Shel Holtz are co-hosting and co-producing the official podcast of the 2006 IABC international conference. The podcast—ConferenceCast —debuted today and is available for download, audio stream, and RSS subscription over at the conference blog, In Session.

The blog will launch officially on Monday but is open now for the podcast (the podcast is the only post there at this point). ConferenceCast #1 features interviews with members of the IABC Gold Quill Blue Ribbon panel, which convened over a Friday and Saturday in March to decide which entries would receive honors. The Gold Quill Awards are presented at a gala evening on Monday at the conference. I’m actually pretty pleased with the editing job, which was the most complex I’ve ever undertaken.

ConferenceCast will feature interviews with speakers, conference planners, members of staff, members of the IABC executive board, and individuals who plan on attending. Once the conference starts, we’ll conduct on-site interviews. We hope to podcast a few complete sessions, as well, although that’s up in the air at this point.

Grab a listen to ConferenceCast and let us know what you think by leaving a comment on the “In Session” blog.
