Hello, Hello, Hello00000. Is there anybody in there?
I realize my little site has become a wasteland. I do have big, big plans, but they’ll have to wait until May 2012. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be graduating with my Master’s in Information Design and Communication from Southern Poly in the spring. After that, I hope to re-build this blog and keep it updated.
Until then, hope this keeps you going for the show

I’m pursuing an MS in Information Design and Communication at SPSU in Atlanta. The program’s doing great working the emerging fields of visual rhetoric and content strategy and analytics.
Please “Like” our new page on Facebook and keep up with the work we’re doing.

Yet another PHIN Conference has come and gone. The major initiative I’ve worked on while at the CDC has been the Public Health Information Network (PHIN), and each year in Atlanta the Center holds a national conference for public health informatics folks.
From a marketing standpoint, the conference is a monster. In fact, I’d contend that most conferences are *all* marketing. Our team at Deloitte provided much of the support, from presentations to keynote speaker corralling, to virtually all of the marketing collateral creation: http://www.cdc.gov/phinconference.
In previous years, one of my roles has been to manage the daily newspaper at the show, a special daily edition of PHINews (which is PHIN’s quarterly newsletter I helped create a few years ago; there are some links on this page to some of the articles I’ve written over the years.)
Due to budget cuts, we didn’t run the daily this year, which I missed. It was always exciting to get the articles written and the pages designed for an early morning pressing.
I did present this year on marketing and communication around PHIN. I focused on our re-branding efforts around PHIN for the last few years and how we were able to do it in a very dynamic environment. I think it went pretty well; there were certainly more people there than I expected. No one stormed out in disgust, so I guess that can be considered a success.
