When: Saturday and Sunday, August 21st and 22nd, 10am - 5pm.

Who: WLRN staff, Andy Carvin, National Public Radio, Dan Grech, American Public Media / WLRN-Miami Herald News, and people like you who are passionate about public broadcasting and who have a personal interest in volunteering time and effort to further its mission.

Format: Inspired by unconferences such as BarCamp, PodCamp, Public Media Camp gives all participants an opportunity to plan and run the event. Participants formulate conference subjects and sessions as part of pre-conference engagement process. Significant portions of event will also be left open and reserved for attendees to create their own sessions on the weekend of the event itself.
