Best in the SW : : Flash Animation & Motion Graphics Conference & Festival
Runs October 8-11, 2007 at the Embassy Suites in Albuquerque, NM
From the site:
The animation and motion graphics industry is on fire! Demand for animation and motion graphics in entertainment has exploded as cable, satellite TV, and the internet have greatly increased broadcasting hours. More broadly speaking, animation and motion graphics are increasingly used in video games, and the movie industry is increasingly reliant on computer animation, motion graphics, and special effects. Rapid advancement of technology has made computer animation and motion graphics available to the masses, making these fields two of the fastest growing industries in the world today.
Best in the SW: Flash Animation & Motion Graphics Festival brings Flash animators, motion graphic artists, and broadcast designers together for a full week of non-stop animation, visual effects, motion graphics, and inspiration. Seven great days to learn, exchange ideas, further professional skills, and be inspired!
The conference starts off with a bang with our opening keynote show – a blend of excitement, information and our annual Best in the SW: Flash Animation & Motion Graphics Awards. The ceremony celebrates the Best of Flash animation, broadcast design and motion graphics.
At Best in the SW you will learn more than just tips, tricks and techniques. You will learn about the art of Flash animation and motion graphics - the concepts, the design, and finally the execution. 1-day of pre-conference workshops • 3-days filled with sessions by leading animators, broadcast designers, special effects and motion graphic artists • 2-days of intensive hands-on training. Whether you join us for all or part - there’s something for everyone at this year’s Best in the SW.

SANTA FE—The 2007 Governor’s Summit on Economic Development, titled “Energizing the Entrepreneurial Economy,” will be held September 26-28 at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque, Governor Richardson announced today.
“Entrepreneurship is at the heart of New Mexico’s economic base,” said Governor Richardson. “What’s more, the vast majority of our state’s employers are small businesses, which employ more than half our private sector workers.

Dr. Carl J. Schramm, president and CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and one of the country’s leading thinkers on entrepreneurship; and
Becky Anderson, executive director of HandMade in America, a nonprofit organization promoting community economic development through craft
“We’ve got an excellent slate lined up for New Mexico’s business leaders, economic developers, and entrepreneurs,” said Economic Development Cabinet Secretary Fred Mondragon. “Session topics will include Breaking into International Markets, Business Incubation, and Tribal Entrepreneurship, among others.”
Early registration costs $175. After August 30, the cost is $225. To register early (and save $50) log on to http://www.nmsummit.com. Scholarship applications are also available. To learn more about registration, contact Lisa Walker: 866-963-6600.
