FullCalendar News

BiztechDay is a full day of tips and advice for using social media and the web to market yourself and your business. It kicks off with Tim Ferriss, the 4-hour Work Week author, and ends with Scott Heiferman, the founder of Meetup. Just after lunch, George Wright, the VP Marketing of Blendtec, is speaking - the company that did the viral Will it Blend? videos. Lots of interesting and practical panels inbetween.

If you go, come say hi - I’ll be on the Event Marketing Panel at 3pm.

On Saturday, September 27, come check out lots of interesting arts organizations in Mission Dolores Park, in San Francisco. This is a fantastic opportunity for all types of artists to meet organizations that want talent: publishers looking for writers, festivals looking for submissions, dance groups, craft collectives, educational groups looking for teachers.

During the two weeks leading up to the Expo, starting Wednesday, September 10, Independent Arts & Media will be presenting lots of workshops where you can learn a new craft and other artsy topics.

This is a fun day (we’ve been several years now), and if you come, stop by FullCalendar’s table to say hi!
