Although attendees woke to billowing snow this morning in the Mile High City, everyone is eager to start Day Three and enjoy the remainder of the 2009 NAMIC Conference.
Yesterday wrapped up with stimulating and interactive break-out sessions, including Corporate Diversity and Inclusion - BARNGA , facilitated by NAMIC’s VP of Educational Programs, Jim C. Jones. Session attendees loved this hands-on session as they played five rounds of cards while remaining silent. Participants were instructed to only use hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate with one another during the game. Paired with a different partner each round, participants were challenged to quickly adapt and learn how to effectively communicate with others. The BARNGA exercise was eye-opening for many, as the game revealed participants’ true adaptability, leadership and communication skills.
This morning’s general session kicked off with an engaging panel, “My Content Anywhere: Changing the Rules of Engagement Between Content Providers and Distributors.” Attendees listened as Brian Santo, editor-in-chief of CED Magazine moderated this panel about the dynamics between providers and distributors and challenges each entity faces when working together to create content for diverse audiences.
After a short break, attendees will participate in the last series of break-out sessions before attending the Mickey Leland Humanitarian Achievement Award Luncheon featuring CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Dr. Gupta is being recognized for his humanitarian efforts as a medical professional and journalist. Past recipients of this prestigious award include Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Robert L. Johnson, Governor Bill Richardson, Kweisi Mfume, Christina Saralegui, Anderson Cooper, and Soledad O’Brien, among others.
Check back for a recap of this afternoon’s break-out sessions and for coverage of the Mickey Leland Humanitarian Achievement Award Luncheon later today.
