Attending: Cyn, Carlee would have ben here but she is with the Dalai Lama in DC.
Cyn updated the website with a more current photo or two from PKN March 2011. We need to find out who the photographer is to give credit. Also updated our volunteer list and emails.
Still looking to nail down our emcee.
We have 13 submissions thus far and should have 3 more shortly. Our call ends July 17th. We are in good shape.

NEWS RELEASE
SPARKcon opens with 5th Annual ideaSPARK at KINGS
August 18, 2010—Raleigh, NC – SPARKcon 2010 will open with a sharing of new ideas and creativity at the 5th Annual ideaSPARK. The event will take place at the recently renovated KINGS in downtown Raleigh on September 16th, 2010 at 7:30 pm. This year’s ideaSPARK repeats last year’s successful format as a PechaKucha Night. The Thursday night opener will be the fourth PechaKucha Night coordinated by PKN Raleigh organizers and sponsored by Lonerider Beer, KINGS, Yelp! and TechShop.
What is SPARKcon? SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of “The Creative Hub of the South,” the Triangle NC. SPARKcon is a “creative potluck” of SPARKs or creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, etc. Each SPARK is organized & produced by individuals who are deeply embedded in that specific local scene. SPARKcon is a program of Visual Art Exchange, a Raleigh non-profit whose mission is to support emerging artists and connect the community to the arts.
What is ideaSPARK? For the second year, ideaSPARK has adopted the PechaKucha format. PechaKucha Nights are local idea-sharing events in the 20 x 20 format: speakers present 20 slides for 20 seconds per slide. Slides advance automatically to keep things moving forward at a rapid pace. Anyone can present, but the most meaningful PechaKucha presentations are the ones that uncover the unexpected — unexpected talent, unexpected ideas. Many use PechaKucha Night to present their latest creative projects, work, or passions. PechaKucha is Japanese for ‘chatter’ or the sound of conversation. All of September’s ideaSPARK/PechaKucha presentations are closely aligned with the philosophy & mission of SPARKcon. The event is free, but space is limited. Reserve your seats at: http://ideaspark2010.eventbrite.com.
