Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
All- this was a fantastic experience and certainly the best SPARKcon yet! We connected to more creative talent than ever with a much larger attendance. We certainly ’sparked’ some interest in the media as well and loved the attendee quotes in the N&O article Sunday. It seemed they understood all of our intentions quite well.
We had a great ideaSPARK session all weekend and created a concept and prototype website for Raleigh360 to “create a culture of localism.” We hope to pitch this website to city leaders on how to encourage local businesses to hire local talent for their projects. It ends up being just in time to make it for Raleigh’s own public input process for their website!
Beth has already made a slideshow movie of fashionSPARK. We eagerly await Cheryl and others to submit their thousands of images as well as Eric and Alex to get their dozens of hours of footage in. We’ll have them posted on the main site under the “news” section.
Don’t forget to submit your SPARKcon documentation for the photo contest or video contest!
Please submit any feedback or links to chatter about SPARKcon as comments on our website so we can continue to build this great effort. Thank you everyone!
Aly, Gab, Ty and Greg

SparkCon now has a group on LinkedIn.com! Thanks Aly for setting that up- if you are listed on LinkedIn, be sure to join the group so we can all stay connected (and gain new contacts) through SparkCon!
cheers!
