Agenda:

• Supercharged Personal Branding
  by Mykl Roventine
  What do you need to think about to build "Brand You?" It doesn't matter what industry you belong or aspire to, everyone has a brand. Being able to define and convey your unique brand will become necessary skills as the explosive growth of the social web continues. The alternative is to be lost in the digital shuffle. Far from being complicated, there are simple lessons that can be applied immediately to get started. Tools, tips and common sense techniques will be explored to help harness your brand now and well into the future. To jump-start the process, a Holly Iverson, of Holly Marie Photography, will be on hand to take free avatar photos of attendees. Feel free to dress up above the waist. Mykl Roventine is a Senior Interactive Designer at Allianz Life and self-proclaimed social media junkie. He designs things like web sites and social media strategies, drinks lots of coffee, runs the Minneapolis chapter of TechKaraoke and blogs at myklroventine.com. Holly Iverson started Holly Marie Photography (hollymarie-photography.com) about 2 years ago after graduating with a BFA from the College of Visual Arts in St. Paul, MN. Always trying to learn more and push herself, she strives for fabulous photography.

Grrr; I'm in the same boat as Yvonne, Rick. I'll be there in spirit, but I've got to pitch in one one of those last-minute "simple yet vital" things at work. See you May for sure... unless something else comes up. :) Have a good one!

Hi! I was really looking forward to this event, but my Admin booked over the calendar item and I can't make it. I don't know how to remove my 'yes' RSVP, so I wanted to leave a note. I do look forward to the next event!
