Arizona Department of Education and Greater Phoenix SCORE Host Unique Event

Greater Phoenix SCORE® and the Arizona Department of Education led by Tom Horne, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, are collaborating to host a day of business education on Tuesday, September 22nd from 8am to 5pm in Mesa.

Register for tickets and information on the Greater Phoenix SCORE website www.scorephoenix.org. Click on Special Events on the home page and then find the event on September 22nd.

During this day-long conference, businesses will learn how to integrate social media into their existing marketing systems and to deliver increased revenue and bottom line results.

In addition, as part of Arizona International Week, we will video-stream the PCFR International State of the State address by Governor Jan Brewer into the event.

The Social Media Summit will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2009, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at the East Valley Institute of Technology – EVIT — 1601 West Main Street, Mesa, AZ 85201 – conveniently located on the Light Rail.

This is a first-of-its-kind, nation-wide Summit. It is hosted by EVIT and co-created with the students at EVIT as part of their educational program. The Summit will be video-streamed nation-wide to selected regions. Greater Phoenix SCORE is sharing revenues from the Summit with all of the organizations using its content.

The Summit is also sharing proceeds with non-profit organizations. For every individual ticket purchased at full price by anyone connected to a non-profit organization, that organization will receive $25.00 from Greater Phoenix SCORE.

blogspot.com and blogger.com are both down as I write this.
