USITT 2012: Session on Creating a Digital Presence

Is anyone else excited that USITT happens later this week?!? USITT has to be one of my favorite shows. Why, it’s all about education and students!  USITT is the perfect place to get a good look at what is going on in the industry and get a bit of education while you’re at it. All throughout USITT, there are sessions ranging from almost every aspect of the industry. Best of all… THEY ARE FREE!

On Thursday morning at 9:30am, I’ll be joining Todd Proffitt from SUNY Fredonia and Stage Directions Editor, Jacob Coakley.  We’ll be talking about creating a digital presence.  The session is all about how to market yourself online and digitally. We will talk about how to setup and display your work on a variety of different sites as well as a mobile version of your work.

It always happens, you’re out, at the local watering hole and run into someone that might be interested in your work.  Will you have your book or portfolio? I don’t think so, but you will have your mobile phone. We’ll explore options on how to organize, maintain and having your work ready at any moment.

Make sure to join in on the session.  If you can’t make it, we’ll have the materials up online after the session.
