Yes, it’s (already!) that time of the year again. We invite one and all to be a part of the 2018 Winter SWL Fest on March 1, 2 and 3 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in fashionable Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. That's just 105 days away as I type this.
This will be the 31st such annual gathering and due to popular demand we have added an extra half day, opening the event on Thursday afternoon and continuing through all of Friday and Saturday. Details and background info from <www.swlfest.com>. One of the centerpieces of the Fest weekend is our line-up of informative and entertaining forums. How do we get them? These excellent sessions are put together and presented by you and people just like you—people with a deep and abiding interest in radio and a willingness to share what they've experienced, learned and know. So, how about it? Have you a topic that you think Fest participants will find interesting and would be willing to present? Tell us about it. If you’ve already contacted us, chances are we have your e-mail on file. However, chances are also that we don’t. So, please re-contact us at this time just to make sure. Your role will be to lead a one hour session forum. That means preparing about a half-hour presentation that leaves plenty of time for audience questions and interaction. It can be anything from a serious (or comic) lecture (or both) to a multimedia extravaganza. Your choice! And as a gesture of appreciation (and perhaps some measure of small compensation for your efforts), the Fest will comp your registration fee if your proposal is accepted by the Organizing Committee (which consists of Rich Cuff, yours truly and a Magic 8 Ball we found in Rich’s attic when looking for old Fest printed programs and giveaways. We are seeking your help in fashioning a balanced and diverse line-up of topics and speakers. Make your suggestion/proposal to John Figliozzi at <[email protected]> If you have any questions, we'll be happy to discuss them with you. And even if you've never led a forum before, don't hesitate. We've learned that people tend to unfairly and inaccurately minimize their own abilities. We know you'll be great...but you have to let us in on what you're thinking! We promise a quick turnaround on your proposal once we are able to survey the field. Be a part of the 2018 Winter SWL Fest program! 73 and 88 to the Ladies (with due apologies to Ian McFarland) John Figliozzi Richard Cuff 2018 Winter SWL Fest (and apparently for life) Co-Chairs _______________________________________________ Internetradio mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/internetradio To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [email protected]?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
