If you are going to the 36th Annual NFCB Conference, make sure to stop by Creative PR’s booth and say hello!

Creative PR will be sharing the booth with BirdNote.  Be sure to check out the live birds at our booth and grab materials about BirdNote.

Also, stop and grab some materials on Sound Beat.  Sound Beat is a new 90 second daily module which is like taking a trip through the history of recorded sound.

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco

Creative PR just returned from a whirlwind week spent in St. Paul, Minnesota for the 35th Annual NFCB Conference.

We met with NFCB’s new President and CEO, Maxie Jackson.  Maxie is a charismatic man who we are sure will bring the NFCB into the next generation.  Many of the talks and sessions dealt with new technologies and how to implement them in local stations.

There was a great energy to the conference as a whole.  The presenters, attendees, and vendors all seemed to be enjoying themselves and each others company.

It was fantastic to get to see old friends and make new ones!  Additionally, it was amazing to finally get to put a face with a name and voice of many Program Directors, General Managers, and Producers that we pitch programming options or collaborate with throughout the year.

The Conference wrapped up on Saturday afternoon with Democracy Now‘s Amy Goodman to giving closing speech.

See you next year in San Francisco!
