Espresso is excited to again be a sponsor and participant of PodCamp Toronto, an event that really is the embodiment of true collaboration. Every year people come together from all corners of the city (and beyond!) with two objectives in mind: to learn and to share. As you may or may not know, Espresso is all about collaboration, and with well over 700 registered attendees this year, PodCamp is just the place to sharpen our skills.

We can’t wait to attend as many sessions as possible including “Defaulting Privacy: Personal information and the social web” run by our very own Brad Buset.
Session overview:
How does our desire for privacy balance with our increasing propensity to share information and enjoy personalized services? What are we responsible for as educated online citizens and what could (or should) be legislated? What can we do to ensure responsible usage of information?
As the lines blur between online and offline worlds, an educated discourse around online social norms and personal information security will become increasingly important. Join Brad for a presentation and discussion for all online citizens, marketers, developers and anyone who shares information online.
With only 16 days to go, make sure to register today. Look forward to seeing you there!

I attended Brad’s session and was amazed with how little people are aware of all the legal issues surrounding privacy. He had some great point about it being our responsibility as people who are in the realm to preach about privacy protection and making smart choices when publishing information online.

Hey Alex, glad you enjoyed the presentation and the topic. It was our pleasure, and we’re really just glad we got a chance to meet so many cool people over the weekend. We just posted the presentation on Slideshare or you can find it in the most recent post right here…in the Daily Grind. Have a great day!

Hi Bram, glad you enjoyed the presentation! It was really eye-opening for me as well, that as I was researching the topic, I realized just how scattered the converstaion is around privacy. If we want responsible usage of all these cool networks and tools, we’ve got to be the ones showing how it’s done. Thanks for the support, hope you enjoyed Podcamp!
