'Choreographing a Spectacle'
Workshop Planned at Pitt-Bradford
Public relations specialist John Schlimm will demonstrate how to choreograph a spectacle with an event-planning workshop at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford next week.
“Choreographing a Spectacle” will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 10 and 11 in Room 218 of the Frame-Westerberg Commons. The cost is $45. The program is sponsored by Pitt-Bradford’s Office of Outreach Services.
Schlimm, an occasional adjunct member of the communications faculty, will share a five-step process to make an organization’s event a success, an initiative he presented at the annual convention of the International Festivals and Events Association, the world’s largest organization for event planners.
“There are a large number of organizations in the McKean County area, many of which are nonprofits, which plan and sponsor special events as fundraisers or community gatherings,” said Ann Robinson, director of the Business Resource Center at Pitt-Bradford. “We thought that this course, which teaches you how to plan and promote such events, would be helpful.”
A Harvard University alumnus, Schlimm has worked in public relations and special events for more than 15 years. He has taught public relations courses at Pitt-Bradford.
Those planning to attend the session are asked to make reservations by contacting Outreach Services at 1-800-872-1787 or reach@pitt.edu.
