CenPhoCamp

Dis­claimer: Cen­Pho­Camp is not affil­i­ated with Cronkite School or Ari­zona State Uni­ver­sity in any way. We are grate­ful to have the use of their world-class facil­i­ties for our event.

Cen­Pho­Camp wouldn’t have been pos­si­ble with­out the gra­cious sup­port of the com­mu­nity. Every speaker, pan­elist and spon­sor have offered their time and/or money to allow us to rent the Cronkite school and pro­vide some food and drinks for atten­dees afterwards.

The fol­low­ing four com­pa­nies are spon­sor­ing each of the four rooms we will be using. Tony’s Light Rail Blog­ger will be in room 252, Kimber’s Verve Co will be tak­ing over room 202, Derek Neighbor’s Inte­grum will set up in room 444 and Jane’s Prac­ti­cal Art will set up in room 314.

Thanks to all of you for mak­ing this hap­pen and good luck.

Light Rail Blog­ger
Tony Arranaga blogs about the ligh­trail in Phoenix — and uses social media to help spread the word about his expe­ri­ence using alter­na­tive trans­porta­tion. Tony uses social media to not only pro­mote his blog but also to start a con­ver­sa­tion and get peo­ple think­ing about rid­ing their bike, shar­ing a ride, or using the light rail/bus to get around the Val­ley. Exactly how he starts this con­ver­sa­tion is what he’ll focus on dur­ing his pre­sen­ta­tion at Cen­Pho Camp.

Verve Co
Verve is a full-service Inter­net solu­tion provider. We have pro­vided a wide breadth of design, soft­ware and mar­ket­ing solu­tions for a vari­ety of busi­nesses all around the globe. Our skill set cov­ers a full-spectrum of key rel­e­vant Inter­net dis­ci­plines that allow us to cre­ate pow­er­ful solu­tions tar­get­ing mea­sur­able results. We under­stand both the tech­ni­cal and mar­ket­ing aspects of the Inter­net and are able to fuse the two together to cre­ate truly effec­tive solu­tions for busi­nesses just like yours.

Inte­grum
Inte­grum empha­sizes busi­ness value, speed to mar­ket and open com­mu­ni­ca­tion to build remark­able Ruby on Rails web appli­ca­tions. Inte­grum has worked with orga­ni­za­tions of all sizes, from star­tups to the enter­prise. They uti­lize Agile soft­ware devel­op­ment method­olo­gies and pow­er­ful tools to deliver your project on time, and on budget.

Prac­ti­cal Art
At prac­ti­cal art, every­thing is hand­made by more than 70 dif­fer­ent local Ari­zona arti­sans. In their large store­front on Cen­tral Avenue, north of Camel­back, they carry over 2,000 func­tional, usable wares in glass, ceramic, metal, wood, fibers, and more. Expect to find things like wood bowls and uten­sils made from local fallen trees; glass­ware and ceramic items in any use­ful shape you can imag­ine; scarves, blan­kets and other knit or woven fibers; clas­si­cally hand­crafted fur­ni­ture, jew­elry, soap, and paper. Just about any­thing use­ful for your every­day life that is hand­made in Ari­zona can be found at prac­ti­cal art!

prac­ti­cal art is also afford­able des­ti­na­tion for every­one: most of the items sell for less than $35. prac­ti­cal art is the per­fect place to find a trea­sured gift. prac­ti­cal art has been named “Best of Phoenix” by the New Times and “Best in the Val­ley” by Phoenix Magazine.
