TrendsTalk 2012 was a success!
The 'unconference' ran from 11:30 in the morning until 5:00 that night! We had a great turn out of Kingston's community attending. From the snack bar, to the lecture hall the event was held in, everything was set up perfectly thanks to the team of TrendsTalk 2012 and Lindsey Fair, a St. Lawrence College part-time professor, who took on the liberty of being in charge of the event last year. A professor who has managed to take on teaching, working, and even helping out the students of the Advertising and Marketing Communications program in extra curricular activities including TrendsTalk and Pivot Con.
The Digital Concierge team did a fabulous job in digitally promoting the event in real-time using Twitter - #trendstalk (Hailey Murphy, Riley Cavanagh, Sabrina Eshoo) as well as taking photos (Sabrina Eshoo), and shooting video (James Potts and Michael Kusters).
So who came to event?
Leading up to the event, the TrendsTalk marcom team (Camille Orellano, Jennifer Orsatti, and Nick Rayner) made sure the event was marketed effectively to the Kingston business community. Just days before the event, there was news that the Kingston Police were going to attend the 'unconference' for Digital enlightenment, as well as Small Business owners and Entrepreneurs.
What about the Panel?
Towards the end of the day, a panel of speakers had been put together, which included Alumni from the Advertising and Marketing Communications Management program, as well as current students. This panel enabled attendees to ask questions, be engaged, and make sure any questions they had were answered. A special thanks goes out to all of the members of the Panel:
Matt Landers
Kelsy Lewitt
Adam Smith
Derek Wilson
Sabrina Eshoo
And for the presenters?
