Podcast Hotel: Clarifying The Confusion
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Because there is so much confusion swirling around about the former Podcast Hotel event, I am posting this to help clarify the situation.
We had planned a conference called Podcast Hotel, which was being developed by Alex Williams, who lives in Portland. On August 1, Corante decided not to proceed with the conference, because we had concerns about being able to have the sort of conference that we wanted to deliver for attendees and sponsors. As a result, we informed all sponsors, speakers and the few folks who had registered by that point that we were not proceeding with a Corante event at that time and place. We do intend to have a conference on podcasting, tentatively called "The Business of Podcasting", likely to be in the first quarter of 2006.
Alex wanted to proceed with a conference, independently, at more or less the same dates and locale, and we were ok with that. He has gone his own way, and is no longer serving as a director of events at Corante.
We all agreed that he would call it something else, which he has done. The conference he is holding is called Podcast Jams. The confusion has arisen from the fact that Podcast Jams is being promoted at the same Podcast Hotel web site, which is owned and operated, now, by Alex. And to make it more prone to confusion, in some places he refers to the event as Podcast Hotel and in others as Podcast Jams. We have asked Alex and others who have recently posted about the Podcast Jams show (like Chris Pirillo - Thanks, Chris!) to clarify that the event is not sponsored by Corante. It is Alex's conference, which he is running independently of us, not based on the program we were developing.
We wish Alex well with the show, but we don't want people to think this is the same Podcast Hotel that we were affiliated with. It's not. It's more oriented toward the music scene, and less about mainstream business podcasting. And it's most definitely not a Corante sponsored event.
