We’re pleased and proud to announce the third iteration of Show and Tell. To coincide with the New Communicators series of events, this time around we’re focusing on the idea of “action as communication.” We asked you to submit presentations on how you’re changing the world through your actions, and we were blown away by the quality and number of submissions. We sincerely thank everyone who submitted a proposal, and more importantly, we thank you for your efforts to change the world.
So without further ado, the lineup (in no particular order) for Show and Tell: Changing the World/New Communicators Edition.
Presenters:
Otis Rubottom, Columbia Sportswear: Columbia Sportswear Reused Box Program
Kristin Dahl, Board President of We Love Clean Rivers, Inc. with Jenn Reilly from the RIPPLE Effect: Turning restoration into recreation on rivers in the Pacific Northwest, then turning the trash into art
Chad Rea, ecopop: Bringing conscious consumerism out of the exclusive fringe and into the accessible mainstream
Eva Lake: Changing the world through art and artists
Tyesha Snow: Redefining what Strategy means in the context of creative work
Scott McDonald, Not For Sale Campaign: A recent trip to Ghana, West Africa to rescue eight children off Lake Volta
