2 September Events You Won’t Want to Miss

Here’s a pair of great upcoming opportunities for business inspiration and marketing insight.


The MMAC Future 50 Awards Luncheon—Registration Deadline Sept. 10


n Event next Thursday, Sept. 16 at The Pfister Hotel


The Future 50 Program showcases companies that are leading the way to growth in the Greater Milwaukee region. It’s a great way to discover what up-and-coming companies are doing to break through—and how you might learn from their success.


By the way, I’ll be participating in the luncheon panel discussion. No hecklers, please.


PRSA-WI Welcomes Peter Shankman—renowned social media/PR thinker


n Monthly meeting Thursday, Sept. 30, at the Hilton Milwaukee


Peter is perhaps best known for founding Help A Reporter Out, which quickly has become the de-facto standard for thousands of journalists looking for sources on deadline. He is recognized globally for radically new ways of thinking about social media, PR, marketing, advertising, creativity and customer service.

Peter’s presentation, “First, SHUT UP. The New Rules of Communication in an Era of Social Media,” figures to be fascinating and fun. This will be his first visit to Milwaukee, so come on out and let’s make it a memorable one. BONUS: You could win a pair of roundtrip tickets on AirTran.
