Themes of #NAMPC 2015 or “A Very Special Blossom”

Posted On November 10, 2015 By Shoshana

I woke up early in the morning thinking about the conference I just attended. At first I thought I was in the hotel room, which proves my brain is still there at the conference, and the other attendees probably feel the same way. The day after always gives us a chance to bask in the…

Usually during and after a conference my brain gets all tingly, and then it lights up with new ideas and inspirations. Today, for some reason, it is happening before the conference. Perhaps I had too much coffee this morning. A likely assessment, yet my thoughts are fairly targeted towards what we might be discussing at…

Posted On November 11, 2014 By Shoshana

  I wasn’t able to attend the National Arts Marketing Project Conference this year, yet I did “attend” via Twitter (with a cat in my lap).  Twitter hashtags are an easy way to keep in the loop as much as possible.  Of course, it would have been more constructive if I could have attended the…

Posted On October 4, 2013 By Shoshana

TGIF!  I hope you all have some enjoyable weekend arts events planned.  Today has been a whirlwind of activity for me, so I thought I would update you. I started off the day with a mini-podcast after seeing this article: Ticketmaster report: theatre audiences getting younger and more experimental [soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/113822295″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”166″…

#NAMPC The National Arts Marketing Project Conference – Winning Audiences Day 2

Posted On November 17, 2011 By Shoshana

Part 2 of the adventure unfolds!   Yesterday I felt like my head was still at NAMPC while my body was milling around Boulder, CO.  It was a very strange feeling.  This probably can be attributed to not being able to download the entire experience.  I may never be able to do this, but I will…
