August 2010 Current Events

What's Happening with Sandy?

Sandy participated in the 20/20 Lightning Talks: The Steeplechase of Speaking during the National Speakers Association (NSA) Convention.
The rules to take part in this event: Each featured speaker presents on a topic completely of his or her choosing for exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Their self-generated 20 PowerPoint® slides will automatically advance every 20 seconds, ready or not—ooooh, the drama!!! Watch the video here. Turn up the volume since the video clip is filmed with a simple flip camera.

At the bottom are some still shots covering this Convention and also the birth of a new American (?!)

  • <B>A booth full of people - Take ONE</B>. <BR> During the Convention your Image Architect rented a booth space to do mini makeovers. Needless to say people were constantly queuing up to absorb information on how to look and dress professionally.
  • <b>A booth full of people - Take TWO</B>.<BR> A continuous flow of interested people made my booth one of the hot spots in the exhibitors hall.
