Thank you to everyone who made The Local Edge a success. Our afternoon sessions started out with a lesson in stepping outside our comfort zones and moved into a behind-the-scenes and into-the-data look at a popular charitable giving campaign. We also had the cool experience of being part of a live podcast to learn about how our event venue, The Eclipse, came to be and how its branding was developed. Congratulations to our Member of the Year Lindsey Chumley and our Chapter Champion Award winner Ashley Wooledge.

Midday at The Local Edge and we’ve learned so much already. From stress management to… how to determine where to put your energy when it comes to AI… and the latest in SEO and social media (and an inside look into the world of a local social media influencer), our speakers have given us a lot to think about and put into action.

Have you been inside Eclipse Venue yet? It’s the newest premium event venue in town, and where you’ll be seated when you attend Communicate Stronger this year.

But how about hearing the exciting (and terrifying) story behind building the brand of Eclipse Venue? Join us on May 12 to get real talk about what it took to bring the brand to life, the strategy that shaped it, the creative decisions that weren’t always obvious, and the moments of doubt.
