Welcome to Webzine!

Webzine 2005 is in full effect on this beautiful Saturday afternoon in San Francisco. Jacob Appelbaum has just finished speaking and the next round of sessions are about to begin. Our internet connectivity is not as robust as we’d like, so we’ve had to suspend the live streaming. We are recording the sessions and will get those uploaded as soon as we can. For now, check out the Flickr feed and the blog posts.

   Webzine 2005 - great idea but should be looooonger

   You have never seen anything like that before.

   Thank you for publishing this comment!

   PS. By the way, I am number 1 on Google for San Francisco Pictures and San Francisco Virtual Tour.

WEBZINE is a real world, face-to-face celebration of independent publishing on the Internet. It's part panel discussions and speakers, part workshops and much freeform collaboration, schmoozing and after-party boozing. The panel discussions aim to inspire, the workshops are hands-on forums of learning and the Master's Lounge is the unstructured place to share knowledge, ideas and URLs. DIY to its core, Webzine is rooted in zine culture and the love of making our own media.

Two days of panel discussions and presentations from speakers covering a micro gamut of the independent publishing landscape. Hear from people who are turning mainstream media on it's head through self-reporting, culture jamming, citizen journalism, experimenting with new forms of audio and video broadcasting and of course, sticking it to the Man.

Inspiration becomes creation when you make the tools and tricks work for you. Learn from leaders and creators of open source publishing tools, podcasts and video blogs. Step it up a notch by learning how to tailor your message, perfect your content with proper internet architecture and this new thing called microformats.

We would be lying to you horribly if we tried to tell you that we've covered everything and everyone there is to know in the world of independent online publishing. The Lounge is a place where you can share your ideas, project, URL or whatever you happen to be working on with fellow allies and future friends. This area will be an open, self-selecting and self-scheduled space equipped with a digital projector and a round table. Gather 'round and exchange knowledge and contact info.

Webzine 2005 is Accessible

Online tickets for Webzine 2005 went for an amazingly low price of $22 for the whole shebang. Day passes were $13 in advance. That's less than 1% the cost of some other well known annual conferences, all without the guilt, grime or starch.
