[videoblogging] Vloggercon - why only two times?
Hi everybody, I have went through some old messages within this group but apart from some, let's say passionate conversation I haven't found the answer why the vloggercon had taken place only two times. What happened in 2007? I think it was Steve who wrote (not literally!) "we need a bit time to have energy for the next passionate conference". But if it had been an overwhelming success wouldn't it have taken place in 2007? - Wasn't the vloggercon successful? - Did the vloggercon mean too much effort (maybe for earning no money - I don't know the details for the organisers)? Hopefully it's not a redundant topic - I was searching and reading for one hour. Regards Jenna

No good answer. I think because they were so fun, it created a lot of expectation for the next ones to be better. Difficult to live up to. Also putting on events with little money takes its tool. It's several months of full-time work. There was something special about how spontaneous and crazy Vloggercon was. An ambitious mix of Europeans have put on Vlogeurope every year since 2005: http://vlogeurope.com Adam has put on http://vloggercue.blogspot.com/ a couple times. (2005/2007) http://pixelodeon.org/ was a related event put on by this community in 2007. Bill Streeter did a great job organizing http://twitter.com/vloggercamp in 2008...but the crash of the economy and high gas prices cancelled it. There are other online video events that have popped up as well like New Media Expo (http://www.blogworldexpo.com/) and NewTeeVee Live (http://events.newteevee.com/live/09/). Different beasts though. Events seem to happen when they need to happen. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

Effectively, Pixelodeon was Vloggercon for 2007. It was a big and wonderful festival of web video at the AFI in LA. Seminal moment in videoblogging.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon - why only two times?
Not so Jay re. the Bill Streeter Vlogger Camp which was to be held on Aug 9-10 2008 in Mark Twain Park about 100 miles west of St. Louis. I should know because I ate the cost of 2 USAirway tix to the tune of $450. Bill decided to ax the event because he did not get to the break even # of 30 by the July 1 deadline. The economy was still good at the time and there was a cry from many that they would have gone if Bill didn't pull the plug on July 1. Judgement call I can live with because he had been promoting it for some time. I gambled in bought plane tix before it was a done deal.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon - why only two times?
Thanks Jay for mentioning BlogWorld & New Media Expo. I would be happy to discuss a vloggercon event as a co-located event at Blog World. We have partnered with other events, i.e. Blogs With Balls, etc., and I would love to have a bigger presence of video at our event. Feel free to contact me at j...@blogworldexpo.com We dabbled into the world of video at our event but we could use some boost to our efforts.
