Virtual Networking
Wednesday, July 8th
|
All the networking with none of the mask-wearing or elbow-bumping!
Join the Greater Columbus Chinese Chamber of Commerce at 5:30pm on Wednesday, July 8th for small-group networking (just like the "real" thing!) using a series of brief virtual breakout rooms.
Bring your elevator pitch, a drink, and some food. If you want the *full* networking event feeling, bring a third item to awkwardly balance in your two hands.
Suggested attire: business casual for your top half.

7/22/20 Online Panel followed by Virtual Networking
Cross-Cultural Communication in Creative Work
|
When you make a film for audiences in two countries, how do you maintain the message the writers and director had in mind? When a bi-cultural team creates a single work, how does that work speak to different audiences? How does the camera lens reflect what is important to the photographer and his/her intended audience?
The successful communication of intention is important in all human endeavors; this look at how people convey meaning in cross-cultural creative contexts will be useful to people of all professions.
Our panel of experts:
Catherine Stuer
, Professor of Art History and Visual Culture, Denison University
Tom Gattis
, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Columbus College of Art & Design
Hank Abbott
, Associate Director, Creative Affairs, Pearl Studio
The event will be followed by 30 minutes of virtual breakout rooms for small-group networking and opportunity sharing. All are welcome to stay for this useful activity.
