Tucson, AZ

Flash. Slideshows. Video. Every newsroom wants to jump on the multimedia bandwagon – but how do you get started? What software do we need? What’s a unique user? Do we need additional staff? Join us at the Arizona Daily Star this April 28 for a full day of training and we’ll do our best to answer all your questions.

Full details are available at the SND site (link above), but the highlights include:

Tim D'Avis, of the Quad City Times, tells you what you need to do (and buy) to get your multimedia operation up and running.

Kori Rumore, of the Arizona Daily Star, will give you a crash course in animating with Macromedia Flash.

Andrew Satter, of www.azstarnet.com, will help you figure out how to use that new digital video camera.

Len DeGroot, of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, will take you beyond the basics of creating interactive graphics.

And the fine folks at Apple Inc., yes that Apple, sit down for some hands-on training in combining digital pictures with audio and video.

SND Quick Course Tucson.
We'll sell you the whole seat.
But you'll only need the edge.

Let me tell you folks something right now.

A three-hour hands-on session with a certified Apple Inc. multimedia expert? Try going out and getting this kind of training for $95. How about $95 an HOUR??? The three-hour Apple session ALONE makes this Quick Course pay for itself if you're an SND member.

And if you're not a member and plan on attending, don't be foolish! Sign up for an annual membership so you can take advantage of SND's discounted Quick Course rates!!!

Plus, you're going to get a bunch of other great sessions beyond the Apple hands-on clinic. You come out WAY ahead on this one.

Airfare to Tucson is pretty affordable from all parts of the country. Or you might be able to get into Phoenix for cheaper and rent a car and drive the 1 1/2 hours to Tucson.

Combine that with a really affordable hotel, the opportunity to split a room if you have to, some of the best Mexican food in the country, and the chance to network with your peers, and this is one training session you do not want to miss -- on a topic we ALL need to start paying attention to, because the ship is gonna leave the dock without us, otherwise.

What? Your paper's crying poor and won't foot the bill and you need a push in the right direction to get convinced to pay for it on your own? Send me a PM or an e-mail and let me tell you why you need to look out for No. 1 and invest in your own career. Plus, I'll give you tips on writing it off on your taxes!

But whatever you do, you should very seriously sign up for this one PRONTO. I'll be there. And I'll tell ya what -- if you sign up for this Quick Course and attend because you read about it from this post, print this out and bring it with you and your first drink wherever we wind up on Saturday night after the QC is on ME! No strings!

Less than a month to go and counting ...

If you haven't bugged your editor about attending, now's the time.
And if they don't pay for it – invest in yourself.

And hey - take MattE up on that free drink.

Remember, folks, my offer still stands: First drink is on me if you attend this QC and mention this post!

That being said -- anyone heading to beautiful Tucson for what is sure to be an innovative and important educational opportunity?

I mean, freakin' APPLE INC. will be there!

Who's going? It's only four weeks away! Let us know!

One week until the cutoff for the highly discounted hotel rooms.

$69 a night is tough to beat.

If you don't take advantage of that you're practically WASTING money.

Yes, it feels like I'm talking to myself ...

But people are still signing up - and flying in.
You have no excuse not to join us.

T-minus 8 days and counting ...

I'm just gonna say this: If you don't go to this Quick Course ...

YOU ARE A NERD.

Mike's right. People are flying in. I'm flying in. I know for a fact we're gonna have a fly-in from Wyoming. What's stopping the rest of you???

I am also assured that in the grand tradition of SND, there will be karaoke on Saturday night at the Quick Course Post-Party.

So get on out to Tucson and join the party, people. Remember -- sign up because of this post and mention it to me, and the first drink's on me. Rice, you don't count.
