We could set up a token attendance fee and donate "proceeds" to Harrisburg Univ or Midtown HACC - might help the wheels turn a bit easier. They did something similar at Podcamp Philly.

Please consider not donating left over money. Here's why:

When a sponsor puts money into an event, they are putting money towards the event. When a board of directors finds out that money that was assumed to be used by an event was so unneeded that it was donated instead of being used, it harms the companies ability to sponsor future events. I was talking to a sponsor of previous podcamps about this, it is the only reason that I bring it up. Please figure out before you open tickets to being sold if it is necessary.

Thanks for the heads up. That's a really good point. I'm sure we can come up with great ways to use any funds that might come our way :)

Hey everyone! I took some initiative because I really would like to have this happen. It looks like the Community Center at the Camp Hill Giant would be perfect for our first podcamp. They have one large room and 2 small rooms. We can get all the rooms together for a full 8 hour day for just around $250. Plus they already have wifi there and plenty of stuff in that area. It can even be catered if we decide to go that route. I tried to find a good date and it looks like we can have all the rooms on Sat, Aug 1! I booked it tentatively until we can have a group discussion. I will also post in the Meetings page because this will need to be decided by whoever is interested in really helping out with this. If Aug 1 is not good, then we will need to find a different date.

Below is a link to video of the Community Center I took for anyone interested:
