Welcome to NGM Ver. 3 Morgantown Edition

I vowed never again to Liveblog after my last attempt.

Honestly, I’m the only one round here who has to listen avidly. Still, if what I’ve read and heard thus far (and it’s all been excellent) is anything to go by then I shan’t be needing any of these:

Eyestickers
Eyestickers: How to look awake while taking a nap…

Like a lamb to the proverbial slaughter I’ve been roped in again; not because I have the touch-typing skills a dextrous ninja wordsmith (they’re more like those of a sun-baked walrus if truth be told), but because……well, just because.

UPDATE: Right, we’re finally connected and this is now turning into some kind of retroactive / retrospective liveblog. Just ask any questions about any of the sessions in the comments sections of any of the posts as and when you feel like it.

Morgantown, WV Next Generation Marketing Event 05/22/2008

Next Generation Marketing Conference Testimonials
Read the glowing testimonials of attendees so far.

Two down and two to go. First up of the remaining Next Generation Marketing Conference series that have so far received some rave reviews from those who attended the Charleston, WV and Huntington, WV events last week, is the Morgantown event this Thursday. That’s the 22nd of May.

The Executive Workshop should roughly follow the same agenda as the first two events.

Besides the main speakers and organizers of the event, Skip, Justin and Jeff, we’ll have the return Brad Howe (who enjoyed speaking at the first two so much he wants to do it again) and another member of the Snowshoe team to add their marketing wisdom to proceedings.

So, with the guest speakers really enjoying themselves and the crowds thus far having a whale of a time, you’d be advised to sign up now if you want to attend the Morgantown Next Generation Marketing Event this coming Thursday.

Development and Capital Investment in Morgantown

This is what development looks like in the environment of a vibrant economy. The photo at left is the Boathouse Bistro in Morgantown, West Virginia. Sure, one might say, “anyone can build a new restaurant.” But if I had turned around and snapped another photo, you would have seen a shot of the new, under-construction Marina Tower office building. Connecting all of this is the Morgantown Riverwalk path. It is undeniably cool and convenient to be able to set out on foot from the Waterfront Place Hotel and walk to several appealing destinations, such as the ampitheater, the rail trail, Oliverio’s (and several other eating/drinking establishments) and around a dozen office locations. In addition to the capital injection downtown, there’s a $1.2 billion capital investment underway in the county with the new Longview Power plant.
