Online Branding: A Panel Discussion at the Lake
Thursday, July 10th, 2008999 Tahoe Blvd.
Incline Village, Nevada 89451
To effectively translate offline brands to an online audience takes a lot more than manipulating pixels dimensions and switching everything over to a sans serif font.
Join us for a conversation with Rob Bynder, Stanley Hainsworth and Gene Keenan and moderated by David LaPlante, about creating effective and powerful online brands. We’ll talk about interactivity, user interface design, usability, metrics as well as proper use of web lingo such as Profile, favicon and “shizzle”.
Cocktails and finger foods at 6pm. Discussion starts at 7pm.
