Deadlines approaching
This year’s annual meeting in Providence, Reflections and Connections, promises to be better than ever. Presentations center around social networking, teambuilding and creativity. Workshops include Social Media ROI, Let’s Make Comics!, and a walking tour of colonial Providence.
We’re lucky to have our conference fall on a Waterfire weekend. After the Awards Banquet on Saturday night, experience this award winning, live sculpture of bonfires and music. It’s a unique and powerful work of art that you won’t want to miss.
