Unbelievable!

Wow. In-friggin-credible! Everything. The quality of the panels & workshops, the vounteers, the emcess, the tech support, the Master’s Lounge, the sponsors, the volunteers, the parties and yes again, the volunteers all made this the most memorable Webzine in years. I know this is the first Webzine in years, but who is gonna forget it anytime soon?

Over the next few days we will post audio of the panel sessions and workshops. They will all be released as individual podcasts. Look for the RSS feed here soon. We also have TONS of video, which is going to take a bit more time to digest. We are committed to getting all this out there for you, Mr. & Mrs. Internet, to hear, see, smell and dream about.

Check out super talented Renegade Rene’s Meet the Zinesters series. Maybe you’ll see yourself or your friend embarassing themselves. Part one, two, three, four, five.

   My real Webzine 2005 vlog

   Here’s my Webzine 2005 vlog, for real this time. And, really, the first thing I’d actually consider a vlog that I’m sending down this pipe: it’s the first time I’ve made video specifically for this purpose, as opposed to appropriating…

   Webzine 2005 - make it looooonger

   Webzine 2005 is a great idea: 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 dis…

   Meet the Zinesters Video

   One of the highlights of last weekend’s Webzine 2005 was Renegade Rene’s Meet the Zinesters video blog series. Rene and several dedicated volunteers setup a video interview station upstairs on the right-hand balcony of the Swedish American H…

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.
