April 19th CREATE Conference
Are you excited yet?
This first annual CREATE Conference will be held Saturday April 19th at the Myrtle Beach Train Depot. The registration is now open and it is a free event.
All attendees are invited, whether you live and breathe new media or are interested but slightly frightened by it. If you are a professional journalist or a politician or a pastor or a musician and want to learn how to make new media work in your career, this is for you. If you have wanted to blog or podcast or videoblog but aren’t sure where to start, this is for you. The goal of this conference is to get the newbies and the wizards together in the same room, talking and hanging out and sharing meals. Our focus is hands on demonstration and we are assembling the program right now to reflect that. The idea of the conference is that if there is some project you want to do but haven’t tackled because the learning curve is too high, you should walk out of the conference knowing where to start and maybe with an email address or three of people that can help you if you get into trouble.
Dan and Janet are putting together a presentation and I am planning one, as well. That alone should be worth the drive. Let me know if you are interested in participating beyond attending, whether as a presenter or possibly in a mentor role. Regardless of your comfort level, yes introverts, I’m addressing you, your help is appreciated.
If there are people willing to carpool, let me know and I’ll help coordinate those efforts as well.
