No turning back now

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.

The rooms have been paid for.

Thanks to Phoenix Inno­va­tion Foun­da­tion (PIF) for their help with that.

The agenda has been set.

Thanks to Mark Dud­lik for mak­ing that pretty.

The ses­sions are ready to go.

Thanks to the ses­sion spon­sors for that.

In addi­tion to their dona­tions, Rhonda Ban­nard of Inspired Con­nec­tions and JoMarie Mac­Don­ald sent out infor­ma­tion to their dis­tri­b­u­tion lists (Rhonda sent it to 500 con­tacts alone). Nick Bas­t­ian wrote a great blog post on Raillife.com. CenPho.TV men­tioned it in their weekly vlog. Down­town Phoenix Jour­nal pub­lished a really fan­tas­tic story. Joan Koerber-Walker opened her net­work to us.

We thank you for that.

Jim McPher­son and Steve Weiss from Down­town Voices Coali­tion invited Yuri to present to their monthly Steer­ing Com­mit­tee Meet­ing as well as the Vision­ing Con­fer­ence. Jim also posted the event on the DVC web­site. Jeff Mori­arty men­tioned us at Social Media Club.

Thanks for that.

Izzy Video let us bor­row one of his cam­corders. Gang­plank lent us two coolers.

Thanks to you both.

Also, thanks to Don Cross­land and kon­tak­t­mag for get­ting me to care about down­town Phoenix in the first place.

Thanks to Katie Char­land for edit­ing the ses­sion descriptions.

Thanks to Dean Calla­han for trust­ing us not to tear up his building.

A HUGE thanks to all the speak­ers and pan­elists. They are the shin­ing stars of this event.

See you on Saturday!
