Oct 12, 2008: The Singing Revolution Screening at One Night Cinema

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:18:21 -0700

This inspiring, critically acclaimed documentary tells the true story of how the citizens of the Republic of Estonia peacefully resisted their country's occupation by The Soviet Union and its puppet government by doing the one thing they could do legally: sing.

Thanks to the Estonians similar efforts took the neighboring countries of Luthuania and Latvia by storm with crowds by the hundreds of thousands quickly spreading to demonstrate their defiance of Communist rule that lead to the people of all three Baltic countries to win their independence and freedom.

Running time for the film is 94 minutes. After the screening, we will get together at a local restaurant or coffee shop to discuss the issues brought up in the film.

Oct 30, 2008: Stop Wasting Your Marketing Dollars (Social Media & Brand Strategy) at Four Points by Sheraton, Tempe AZ

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:36:50 -0700

This seminar is a combination of Do-It-Yourself Brand Strategy and Social Media education with step-by-step instructions and break-out sessions, backed by practical and proven marketing solutions that can be executed immediately with little to no budget.

The content has been cultivated from nationally recognized experts in brand strategy and social media, 23+ years of real life applications and Fortune500 experience. Our background is with start-up companies to Coca Cola, Nike, Visa and P&G.

The goal is to provide simple and sensible guidance within the constantly evolving world of traditional and online marketing for companies that are tired of working hard on their marketing, and need their marketing to work hard for them. It's time to Stop Wasting Your Marketing Dollars!

BRANDS - BusinessWeek says that you shouldn't spend a dime on marketing without a brand strategy. Harvard Business Review calls your brand a "strategic resource" and one of the most important ingredients to becoming an "industry star." Brands are promises and should guide every action and decision for the company.

SOCIAL MEDIA - The greatest local to international marketing revolution has been the internet and the use of social media as a cost-effective marketing tool. Social media is the best way to reach highly targeted customers that are looking for what you offer through search engines and thousands of existing online conversations.

TESTIMONIAL: "I attended the workshop on Do-It-Yourself Brand Strategy, and was wowed by their ability to share knowledge and experience in a way that made sense to me as a small business owner. Better yet, I left the event with a solid understanding of what branding is, why it matters to my business, and steps I can take immediately to get started. Thanks for the information and the inspiration!" - Dan McComb, Co-founder of Biznik

SPECIAL OFFER: With registration, receive our "Practical Social Media Tips" guide ($99 value) at the event.

Oct 10, 2008: Southwest Student Leadership Conference at Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:18:06 -0700

In the classroom, we learn about the problems we face everyday. But the classroom only gives us some of the tools we need to address these problems and to develop solutions that will make a difference.

America needs leaders, and it can’t wait for us to graduate. There are too many problems that need our immediate attention — the rising costs of attending college, increased poverty, and global climate change — and we need to act now to implement the needed solutions.

To make a difference, we must be able to mobilize our fellow students, work with decision makers, generate community support, recruit volunteers, and develop new leaders. Unfortunately, there are few classes on these important skills. The Southwest Student Leadership Conference will provide you with the skills training necessary to make a real impact on your campus and beyond.

At the Southwest Student Leadership Conference, you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the most talented student leaders, professional organizers, and advocates in the country about the issues that affect us every day.

Oct 16, 2008: The Rat Pack: Live at the Sands at Arizona State University - Grady Gammage Auditorium

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:12:49 -0700

Direct from a record-breaking run in London's West End, 'The Rat Pack' brilliantly recreates the ultimate meeting of three legendary performers. In 1960, while filming the casino robbery caper 'Ocean's Eleven' in Las Vegas, Frank Sinatra got together a group of his closest buddies for impromptu concerts at the Sands Hotel. The Sands is no longer, and Frank, Sammy and Dean have left us, but 'The Rat Pack' transports you back to that moment in popular music history that has never been equaled.

Sep 4, 2009: North American Discworld Convention - The Turtle Moves at Tempe Mission Palms Hotel

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:27:59 -0700

The North American Discworld Convention is a fan-run convention designed to celebrate Terry Pratchett's long-running, bestselling, hilarious, insightful (etc.,etc. – we can keep going all day) series of satirical fantasy novels. The UK has been holding Discworld Conventions regularly since 1996, and more recently there have been Discworld Conventions in Australia and Germany, but this will be the first one held in North America. Scheduled for Phoenix, Arizona over Labor Day Weekend, 2009 (Sept 4-7, and maybe September 3 as well – stay tuned!), the convention is delighted to welcome Guest of Honor Terry Pratchett, as well as other guests with connections to Terry and/or Discworld. We chose 2009 to avoid conflict with the UK Discworld conventions that take place during even-numbered years – which makes us officially odd!
