Today's sponsorship desk update is a unique event north of the border, where we meet the folks behind 2016 PodCamp Toronto, the 10th year of this popular digital "unconference." Ryerson University’s Rogers Communications Centre, PodCamp Toronto’s host venue since its inception in 2007, will be the home base for yet another year.

PodCamp Toronto is a free community event that’s all about sharing knowledge and passion for digital media. All perspectives are welcome, and we have regular attendees ranging from brand-new podcasting hobbyists to seasoned digital marketers. You might just see: Wait, what's an unconference? Well, they explain that on their site:

"a loosely structured conference emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured program of events. The very first PodCamp was held in Boston in September 2006. It came out of a conversation between Chris Brogan and Christopher S. Penn, two early adopters of podcasting technology. They were inspired by the BarCamp model of technology and web ‘unconferences’, and they established PodCamp in the same light, with a focus on digital content."

To add to the already impressive takeaways from PodCamp Toronto, they are broadcasting out their own custom designed sticker sheets, so attendees will always remember the 2016 edition of PodCamp Toronto. Big thanks to the small team of volunteer organizers spending time through the year planning, fundraising and recruiting day-of volunteers to help keep things organized and flowing. Very few PodCamps last as long as Toronto's, and it's a testament to their hard work. Join them on Twitter at @PodCampToronto and on Facebook at PodCampTO. Tweets by @PodCampToronto
