hi,
I am organizing a panel around new technology and photography for the annual PACA congress in October ( 20-22) in New York. PACA is an organization made of professional photo licensing executives coming from all kinds of backgrounds and countries. They meet once a year to discuss the different aspects of the industry in a very friendly environment. I would really like to present to them the incredible things Symbiostock is doing and how it works . Would someone, preferably based in New York, be willing to do a short ( 10 minutes) presentation and answer any questions that the audience might have ?
You can answer me via PM if you want.
Thank you

I just wrote Leo Blanchette a PM to let him know about this opportunity. He is the main wizard behind the veil.
-
Thanks. I have been in touch with Leo. However, he is based in Hawaii which makes it complicated for him to come to New York.

You could just make a presentation from this article:

I still hold the mushroom analogy close to my heart. I actually researched that particular species :D
Maybe a few of us could make a nice presentation video using our combined skills? I could do some 3d animations on to illustrate the unique concepts the network is based on. You could simply roll the video when your there.
-
I'm not familiar with videos, but if there's a way I can help just let me know.
But having a real person in New York would be better, wouldn't it ... nobody based close to New York?

Cummon Paul, you can't miss this op to fly Leo to New York ;)

Thats cute, but I like my happy little world on a burning mountain in the middle of the pacific.
With a little notice though I think we can all put together a little video to have playing on a loop in the background :D
-
What would you like to show in the video? Explaining the technical basics of Symbiostock plus showcasing files already available?
-
More or less -
- It would explain the network concept (3d animated examples, many nature comparisons of Symbiosis) up to hub sites (like symbiostock.info)
- would explain the network people, how they benefit, helping others, 100% commission
- SEO and marketing strategy
- Ability to work as a referral engine (though the network's main contributors at this time are obviously quite shellshocked from recent agent stuff)
Imagery would be used from video taken by others, as well as photo slides. Plus my own 3d animation for illustrative purposes simply because I'm experienced with it)
A nice professional video up for display on a largescreen would probably be far better than a human. It could also be used on the main site afterward, and be freely available to the network for their own use.
I'd have to have this idea confirmed for a go-ahead because we will need a while to put all the parts together. Maybe Amanda would narrate it? She does a good job.
Let us know pmelcher :D

That sounds good to me ... I would provide some of my files for a promotional video. Who else?

I'm happy to offer any of my files

Me - After one of Leo's earlier descriptions using the Burdock I spotted one at the edge of a field of poppies a couple of weeks ago, so although maybe not a potential top selling stock image it matches his nature descriptions
-
I would be happy to lend any of my files.
-
If you find any of my images useful, I would happy to offer them as well.
-
I'd be happy to offer any of my files. I'm not to proficient in public speaking so I don't feel confident in giving a presentation but I might be able to arrange my schedule to be available for a Q&A session after a video. Leo - would you consider leaving paradise for a few days if I point out that you would be only 90 minutes away from Wardenclyff?
-
I appreciate the offer I received to present Symbiostock to PACA, but it's not a commitment I can make at this time due to my work schedule. Besides, I'm hardly an expert at Symbiostock. I haven't even figured out how to get my author image to show up. ;D
-
I would be happy to lend any of my files.
Me too.
-
+1 :)
-
same for me!

And me, anything from my sites is up for use. :) I wish I could go, but public speaking isn't my forte either.
-

I am in, too

Anyway, its still a baby and we're all hard at work on it, so human attendance might not be possible.
Someone showed me an email: "PACA Conference Discounts End Friday" and Symbiostock is mentioned on it?
So as not to leave you empty handed we can compile something, even if its just a flier.

Leo - Teslamania is listed as taking place on October 19th at Wardenclyffe - just a mere 90 minutes away from NYC, the day before PACA starts. No details on just what Teslamania is all about but it could be added incentive to reconsider....
-
Isn't there someone around who could do a short but cool and informative video about Symbiostock ... I really like the idea of having one for PACA and for the promotion on our sites. I would do it, but I don't have the knowledge and software.
-
Let me know if you want one of my images, although I doubt it. lol
-
I'm happy for my images to be used too.
Is doing a presentation or Q&A session using Skype/videoconferencing out of the question?
-
If the organisers agree Skype is a brilliant idea
