Gatherings and Honors for Creatives

Once I figure out how to put the calendar widget onto this blog (if you can help let me know and I’ll buy you a beverage for your time!) I’ll start showcasing more of the communication events and meetings on this site.

But for now – a head’s up on a few events to note.

When & Where: January 26, 4-7pm at the Modern Bar

TechBoise Chat
When & Where: January 27, 5:30pm at the Watercooler
What: There’s a little ray of sunshine in Boise’s Tech scene. It’s called Yaro and it came out of Idaho’s first Startup Weekend. Yaro’s mantra, “Swimming in a sea of social media publishing? Get your ducks in a row with Yaro,” was created to address the issues facing those of us using multiple social media platforms for personal and business “needs.” Jana Briggs, CEO and Co-founder of Yaro (and self-proclaimed social media junkie), along with Karl Meinhardt, Yaro Board Member, will take us through Yaro’s journey – from pitch to development and beyond – and let us in on where they now stand. And check in with TechBoise to help the community redefine who it is and what it does.

BAF Social
When & Where: January 28 5pm at Ha’ Penny
What: The Boise Advertising Federation is mixing it up for 2010 by kicking off with an evening social to mix, mingle, perhaps act inappropriately? Brian has more info on his Idaho Ad Agencies Blog

IMPACT Awards
When: Due by February 4
What: The Capital City Communicators’ first annual awards program (Idaho Marketing, PR, Advertising and Communication Talent). We’re looking for the best and the brightest of 2009 – the marketing or communications project that made heads turn and people take notice. It’s time to show off your great work from the past year and earn recognition among your peers. Entries in 18 categories will be judged by the Spokane Regional MarCom Association.
