Special thanks to A Brand New Way, we now have our second paid corporate sponsor, relieving some of this pressure. A Brand New Way is an interactive design firm that creates the online components of company brands. They work with businesses to bring strategy, design and innovation together to tell immersive and remarkable stories. Check out their related blog post here.
Just a reminder to attendees that BlogPotomac is an unconference. That means it’s casual dress. As host, I plan on wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. I hope that helps set the tone. Other things to expect as part of the BlogPotomac modified unconference format:
* No PowerPoint (sorry, this nap excuse has been extracted)
* Boxed lunches from DC Central Kitchen, our event beneficiary
* A cash bar in the middle of the afternoon
* Filling out your own nametag at the event
Other aspects of the unconference format have been posted here.
