Rising Tide VI

The center where I work is co-sponsoring Rising Tide this year. Here’s your official invitation from the conference organizers.

Rising Tide NOLA, Inc., will present its 6th Annual New Media Conference centered on the recovery and future of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast on Saturday, August 27th, 2011, 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. at Xavier University, 1 Drexel Drive, New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s time to register!

The one-day conference will feature speakers, panel discussions and break-out sessions on the status and future of the culture, politics, criminal justice system and environment of New Orleans. We’ll also be discussing Social Media as it relates to the city and the Gulf Coast.

  1. Hi Bart – I wanted to catch up with you at some point as I’m working on the Magnolia Bridge and the Dumaine Bridge (www.rebridge.org) and I’m just realizing that you are not only with FOLC but I’ve visited your blog before because you are a NOLA blogger. If you have some time – it would be good to connect. Thanks, R
