Frequently Asked Questions

What is The New Communicators?
The New Communicators is a three-day series of events exploring the ways we communicate with each other. The type of event is chosen by the person organizing the event and anyone can organize one. See info on how to create an event. Also, see the About The New Communicators page.

Who are The New Communicators?
Well, you are. Aren’t you? Hasn’t the way you communicate changed in the past 5 years? The New Communicators is facilitated by 3 people, Erin Kurtz, Stacy Westbrook and Jeremy Pair; you can read about them on the About The New Communicators page. However, you are one of The New Communicators. No matter what business you are in, you are more than likely being challenged to change how you communicate. The New Communicators is a way to explore how you and the rest of us are doing that.

When is The New Communicators?
September 15th, 16th and 17th of 2010.

What Time?
As of now, it depends on the events that are taking place. Please keep checking the site as we get closer to the events.

So where is this going to be?
So far, all we know is in Portland close-in. As the events develop, the venues will start taking shape. Keep checking here for the schedule as we get closer to the events.

Is it a networking event?
No.

Is it an industry event?
No.

Well then who’s invited?
You are. Anyone is welcome as long as you are not inappropriately disruptive or disrespectful of the events. We would love to see people from many walks of life there. It’s for people who are trying to change, understand and innovate their business and communication. Show up with an open mind and be flexible.

Who leads the events?
Perhaps you. There’s no better way to participate in The New Communicators than to lead an event. Last year we had all sorts of people leading all manner of events, take a look.

What qualifies me to lead an event?
You have an idea. You are curious. You have a topic you wish to explore around the subject of communication, something you can answer or want answered. You are ok with being uncomfortable in front of others you know and don’t know.

How much does it cost?
Basically it is free. However, depending on the event and venue-associated costs, there might be a charge for specific events. It’s up to the event organizer. Also, in the past we have had events at coffee shops and other places that serve beverages and food. Out of respect for the venue allowing our events to be held there, we ask that you make a purchase with them in that type of venue.
