Program

    1 - 2:15 pm         Ann Shaftel will present "Conservation
                        Outreach on Television, Radio and Print".

                        Ann has extensive experience in Conservation
                        Outreach: she has presented on live-to-air
                        TV, for six years was radio expert on a
                        live-to-air phone-in show, and also wrote a
                        newspaper column for four years on
                        conservation.

                        Conservation Outreach in today's media rich
                        world requires specific technical skills. It
                        is radically different working contentedly
                        as a Bench Conservator, to communicating
                        flawlessly under the pressure of "lights,
                        camera and action" in a live-to-air
                        appearance. And yet another skill set is
                        required to be a successful newspaper
                        columnist.

                        Ann will offer advice on what to do in front
                        of microphone and camera, illustrated with
                        clips of her own successful and unsuccessful
                        media appearances.

    2:15 - 5 pm         The second part of the afternoon is an entry
                        level, hands on workshop to help you get
                        started creating an Internet presence in a
                        simple, easy, fast and fun way. Scott M.
                        Haskins, painting conservator, will help you
                        customize your efforts, strategies and
                        methods to meet your personality and type of
                        business. This information is essential for
                        business survival.

                        In this workshop you will see, learn and
                        create for yourself:

                            Simple video creation for free (even
                            without a video camera)

                            Posting videos for free

                            Creating a blog for free

                            How to drive traffic to your blog for
                            free

                        How to do the above with minimal time
                        commitment--automation

                        Workshop participants should bring their
                        laptop and be ready to work online.
                        Participants without a laptop can look over
                        someone else's shoulder--but you'll be sorry
                        you don't have your own computer.

                        Sign up early: Pre-CIPP meeting "homework"
                        will be required and materials will be sent
                        out. To receive the "homework" you must
                        email Scott <faclartdoc<-at->gmail<.>com> after you
                        have signed-up to the Seminar.

                        Scott is adamant about you getting
                        mega-value for your attendance

                        But, if you sign up at the last minute and
                        "just show up", your learning will be
                        severely compromised.

                        Note: This is a super easy, entry level
                        hands on instructional workshop. If you are
                        looking for advanced Internet PR/Marketing
                        techniques, this workshop is not for you.
                        Scott is not an Internet guru, marketing
                        professional, super knowledgeable uber-geek.
                        He will *not* be able to answer all of your
                        questions!

                        If you want to know more about Scott's
                        Internet capabilities, Google "Scott M.
                        Haskins" and "Fine Art Conservation
                        Laboratories" (use the quotes) and go to
                        YouTube channel "bestartdoc". Pack a
                        lunch--you'll be there awhile.
