Elevator Pitches
One interesting thing we will be doing at the event is making a video of any attendee who wants to record a 60-second “elevator pitch.” This is basically a quick introduction about yourself if you are looking for a job or have an idea for a new business. So, prepare for you 60-second pitch and you can get recorded at the event. We’ll upload the videos after the event for all to see.
Twitter and Social Media
Let’s use the hash tag #locmia (since it’s short) and “locmia” for any other tagging you will do on blogs, flickr, etc.
