We are thrilled to be in the Mile High City, as Denver’s progressive, creative, and diverse culture serves as the perfect setting for this year’s conference . . .and the gorgeous skyline certainly doesn’t hurt, either!
The Grand Hyatt, the site of this year’s event, is already buzzing with conference activity. Our sponsors are keeping conference attendees more than entertained with numerous prize giveaways from the Food Network, WE TV games and a conference bag (courtesy of BET Networks and Centric) full of great swag.
Alumni will have the opportunity to network and reconnect at tonight’s Reception for Alumni of the Executive Leadership Development Program and Leadership Seminar, sponsored by Scripps Networks. Check back later for Patricia Andrews-Kennan’s recap of the alumni reception here on the official 2009 NAMIC Conference Blog. The National Membership Meeting is also this evening and is open to all attendees.
Tomorrow morning kicks off with registration and breakfast, followed by keynote address from Chris Hughes, Co-founder of Facebook and Founder of MyBarackOmbama.com. At 25-years-old, Hughes has made quite a name for himself and is responsible for two of the most high-profile and successful start-ups in modern history. This is a do-not-miss event!
Check back often as we provide real-time coverage of the NAMIC 23rd Annual Conference. We’ll provide coverage of the groundbreaking and provocative breakout sessions, luncheons and keynote addresses, including the L. Patrick Mellon Mentorship Program Luncheon featuring special guest Sunny Anderson (host of Cooking for Real on The Food Network), the Mickey Leland Humanitarian Achievement Award, featuring this year’s recipient, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and the presentation of the NAMIC Excellence in Multi-Cultural Marketing Awards (EMMAs).
Get ready, because this year is going to be unlike anything you’ve seen before! Always captivating, always relevant and always proving that “diversity rules.”
