PODStock: Podcasters' Conference

This spring, in May 1st and 2nd (a fri and sat), Kansas will be home to a national podcasting oriented ...conference (?) The "stock" in the name connotes either love and peace or angst and exploitation - depending on your Generation. Either way it makes you think something will happen beyond the expected or prepared for. I want to go.

According to their website:

Podstock is a brand new conference designed to bring podcast creators and those who see the real value of podcasting as creators and consumers together. We'll have breakout sessions on podcasting for beginners, as well as sessions for and by seasoned pros. We'll explore podcasting as well as many other web 2.0 tools that can enhance learning and communication in your world. We invite you to join this site and add your thinking to the initial planning for this event. The conference will be held in Old Town Wichita, located in Wichita, Kansas and host participants from all over the country. It will be 2 days of education, learning & fun, so we hope you won't miss it!

By the way, the logo is an owl on a microphone - not Hello Kitty. Am I the only one who saw a resemblance?
