Reciprocity | Wed., Sept. 15 / Thurs., Sept. 16 / Fri., Sept. 17 / 2010
The New Communicators is a three-day series of events exploring the ways we communicate with each other.
Events are created by anyone and anyone can attend. It is an open forum for discussion, education and inspiration.
This year, let's explore the concept of Reciprocity.
Check out video of the panel discussion In The Trenches: Stories from Two Evolving Agencies with Dayn Wilberding, Andy Askren and Dave Allen, moderated by Erin Kurtz.
The audience Q&A session after the panel will be uploaded soon.
Due to the possibility (or likelihood) of rain, Friday’s Wrap Up with #thinkndrink event has been moved to a location with more room to stay dry: East Burn, 1800 E Burnside St, Portland, OR 97214-1534. It’s still 5:00pm to 7:30pm.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but we don’t want you to catch a cold now do we? See you there Friends!
We just heard of a cool event happening on Saturday, September 18th (the day after the New Communicators events) called Block Party @ Ninth Row. SE 9th Ave, between Belmont and Madison will be closed to traffic and there will be food, music and art from inner SE Portland purveyors of goodness to support the “emerging creative scene in the Central Eastside industrial area.” The details of the event (band and booth/vendor list etc.) are still being worked out, so here is the Block Party Vendor Agreement if you are interested in participating.
The team at The Art Department, a gallery and event space on SE 9th, is putting the Block Party together. Their mission is very close to our hearts, they work to differentiate their space “from traditional galleries and instead focus on onetime events and exhibitions with artisans and creatives who are defining the local aesthetic.” Definitely check them out and, who knows, maybe put on an event of your own.
We have received several questions about whether or not attendees should RSVP for the events they are planning to attend. In short, yes.
RSVPing for events is helpful to the organizers so they can work out logistical issues, like how many chairs to rent. Some venues have limited space and if the attendee list nears the limit and the organizer is required to check names at the door, then those who RSVP’d get first seating. Seems fair, right? Sure it does. And what’s a couple button clicks in the grand scheme of things? So, go on and RSVP by clicking on the link on each event page.
Ultimately, it’s up to the event organizer whether or not they want to check names at the door. So like my grandmother used to say, better to be safe than sorry.
See you all in a few weeks!
