A number of months ago, an amazing blogger and friend of mine, Wesley Fryer and I were talking about the need to have a conference to initiate some and improve the skills of others in vid and podcasting. Little did we know that Chad Henderson was several steps ahead of us.
Fortunately Wes had need for a flexible place to work and I had the privilege of introducing him to the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative. While taking a tour of the office space we were told about a number of upcoming events being hosted at the location. When we heard about Throw Your Voice we both lit up. Now, Wes has been traveling the world espousing the benefits of new media within education and would be considered an expert (even his children podcast). I am quite the newbie just now breaking out of a shell to start putting thoughts on this site this past year. We both see this conference as a great opportunity. Experts can help others embrace new media production with refined skills, the rest of us will be surrounded by wonderful speakers as well as given the opportunity to provide our own insight. The conference is on track to be a fantastic event.
The event is this Saturday, October 3rd from 9am to 4pm. Thanks to Chad’s hard work and the contributions of a number of other great folks, it is sure to be a success. Rather than repeat much of what you’ll find at the site and since one of the talented speakers, Lane Fournerat of the event has already done a great and fun video highlighting the day, I figured I would just embed it below.

Are you going? I think I probably should.
I hope to, figuring out logistics by this afternoon. Hopefully space will still be available. Looks to be a great event.
Wow, everyone in OKC knows everyone… Wes, David, Eric… hehe such a great family. See you all tomorrow!
They’re definitely a great bunch of folks…looking forward to meeting you. Hated missing the Creative Oklahoma event earlier in the week.
