On Thursday, December 17,  Headstand Media, a Chicago web design company, will host an educational and networking event as part of their ongoing Nightstand series.  The event centers around providing Wheelwell, a Chicago non-profit, advice and recommendations regarding implementing a web site, brand and strategy.

The event starts at 6 pm with informal networking.  Food and beverages will be provided.  At 6:30 pm the hosts and attendees will break up into small task groups to discuss and strategize regarding Wheelwell’s:

• Content, Site Architecture, Brand and SEO Strategy
• Visual Brand, User Interface and Experience Design
• Technology, Platform, Hosting and Site Implementation Strategy

At 7:15 each of the groups will make 15-minute presentations regarding their recommendations.  At 8 pm there will be a general group discussion through which a formalized strategic recommendation will be made.  Headstand Media will post their summary recommendation online after the event.

Give Back:

Headstand Media is planning to donate some leadership, time and expertise to implementing the recommended plan for Wheelwell and invites us to join them in any way we can.  Headstand Media will provide and explain the options for contributing as the plan is developed.

Invite Others and RSVP!

The invitation has been extended and you are encouraged to pass along this invitation to others in the industry who would benefit from and could contribute to this kind of event.  Please RSVP by leaving a comment on the Nightstand Gives Back site with your name and organization.

An example of the Little Horn Speakers is shown below in white on natural:

The Little Horn Speakers continue to generate more news and publicity for Specimen Products by recently being listed as one of The Year’s Sharpest Products in the Play section of I.D. Magazine’s review of the year’s most notable products and appearing alongside Peter Travers and Nikki Reed in a video interview published at RollingStone.com.  Additional news regarding the Little Horns can be found on Specimens’ news page.

The listening party was a lot of fun and the new speakers sound as amazing as they look.  Thank you Specimen for inviting me to your listening party and congratulations on your creative design.  I hope the Little Horns are a runaway success!

The event will take place in the Headstand Media offices at 333 W. Wacker Dr., Suite 850, Chicago, Illinois.  Informal networking begins at 6 PM, with food and beverages provided.  The presentation and informal discussion will go from 7:00 PM until about 8:30 PM.
