AIGA DFW Podcast: One of the biggest challenges we face is how to capture the tremendous information and intelligence our speakers bring in throughout the year. It's a bit disheartening to have these great insights vanish into thin air once a talk is over. We also realize that not everyone can be at every talk so sometimes, the best information for a particular person never reaches them. Over the last two talks, we've mic'd the speakers and recorded the conversation. Our goal was to capture great info to redistribute to the community in a high quality format. With those goals attained, we are launching out Design Business Podcast today. It encompasses our last two talks: Tips on Non Profit Design and How to Present Yourself and Your Design Solutions. You can subscribe through this website and the feed will be available through iTunes very soon. We will be expanding the programming to more topics and create original programming that will not come strictly from our events. Take a listen and give us feedback. Suggest topics you'd like to see or hear covered (we will have video for some of the upcoming podcasts). And spread the word. Let your friends know about this and tell them that is is an indicator of the quality of programming we will continue to offer. -Bo (in Board Posting) Comments (0) (Nov 08)
