Speechwriters, Scottsdale is the place to be Feb. 24-25

By Peter Faur

If you're a speechwriter living anywhere in the Snow Belt, take a break and clear your head with a trip to Scottsdale, Ariz. You can do so guilt-free Feb. 24-25 by attending Communitelligence's two-day seminar on Executive Communications and Speechwriting in the New Media Age.

You'll learn:

The best ways to keep the matter of reputation on the minds of senior executives.
The strategic opportunities - and risks - for executive communications in the new media age.
What executives want from their public relations staffs to help build and safeguard reputations.
What the future holds for reputation management and corporate leadership.

A highlight of the seminar will be "Speechwriting Jam Session 2010," led by Vital Speeches of the Day editor David Murray. Through dramatic readings from winners of the 2010 Cicero Speechwriting Awards and highlight reels from the Vital Speeches YouTube site, Murray will share excerpts from speeches contemporary and classic, famous and rare. (In the true spirit of an improvisational jam session, you’ll have a chance to nominate some of your own YouTube favorites, so come prepared!)

For those living in and around Phoenix, the seminar also presents an opportunity for a close-up look at the area's most interesting new office building, the North American headquarters of Henkel AG, which owns the Dial Corp. This building is LEED-certified and incorporates a variety of sustainable building elements.

If you sign up by Feb. 15, you can deduct $100 from the two-day fee of $895. I'll be moderating one of the panel sessions, and I'd love to meet a few of you.

Grammar tip: There's no need to say "oftentimes." The word "often" will suffice.
