What: PubCampSTL will explore ways that public media can work with the St. Louis community to address important issues in our region.  The goal of PubCampSTL is to strengthen the relationship of public media in St. Louis with our community through the creation of collaborative projects.

Where: KETC/Channel 9 – 3655 Olive St., St. Louis, MO.  Parking is free and is available in two lots—one on Olive St. and one on Washington Ave.  Both lots are indicated by large purple “Park” signs.  If both lots are full, there is metered street parking available. 

Who: The event will be co-hosted by KETC/Channel 9, St. Louis Public Radio, and the St. Louis Beacon. Participants will be composed of both local and national public media staffers, as well as St. Louis community members who are passionate about working together to find solutions to the issues important to our region.   

Format: Inspired by unconferences such as BarCamp, PodCamp and unconferences hosted by Minnesota Public Radio and KUSP Santa Cruz, PublicMediaCamp will give all participants an opportunity to plan and run the event.

Participants will be invited to formulate conference tracks and sessions as part of a pre-conference engagement process. Significant portions of the event will also be left open and reserved for attendees to create their own sessions on the day of the event itself.

All presentations and sessions at PublicMediaCamp are on the record; blogging, podcasting, tweeting, etc are all strongly encouraged, in conjunction with the tag #pubcampSTL.  Any presentation materials shared at the event must be released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial Sharealike license so they can be used at other camps.
