Whether you’re a startup, a small business, a nonprofit or a large corporation, return on your marketing spend means becoming an audience-building business. It means attracting those who share your beliefs through powerful stories where they are the heroes of your brand.
Come and learn how to build and execute a content marketing strategy that reaches the right audience, with the right stories, in the right channels, at the right time. Learn how to transform your company’s marketing efforts and strategy from the typical commodity-centered brand approach to a more human-centered, values-based, innovative brand and business strategy.
ProTip Tuesday is brought to you by the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center.
GO Connect: Lead with Failure
GO Connect simply stated, is networking reimagined… filled with tailored value, creative talks, innovative environments and tons of aha moments.
Networking is often seen as a song and dance routine, marking off checklists, and at times a forced social pressure. Often it can feel more like a task to find the right people at the right time. The moment you're able to come up for air – growth opportunities look more like survival mode, and you may find yourself drowning in a sea of your a business card collection, which is now brimming over your dresser drawer. Sound familiar?
Have you ever thought of starting a conversation talking about your failures? Engage with Fredrick Martin (Sr. Director of Change Management at the University of Virginia) in a talk designed to help you become comfortable with seeing your failures as a value add. You'll get strengthened in your ability to unpack and share your failure stories and explore how to apply these skills in any setting.
The Interactive Jam Session with Fredrick creates an opportunity for you to hear how failure can help drive change on a personal and professional level.
The event is free but pre-registration is required due to limited space. Please click HERE to pre-register. Light refreshments will be served and a cash bar available. There is free parking in the Kardinal Hall parking lot.
AI Solutions for Biotech
From CvilleBioHub: Convergence of AI for applications in biotech is well beyond science fiction. Currently, over 90% of molecules discovered using traditional techniques fail in human clinical trials. Inefficiencies plague the process from discovery throughout the drug development process. Advances in machine learning techniques present a major opportunity for the biopharma industry.
Join us for a discussion with a panel of local leaders in industry and data science. We aim to explore the promise of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches in drug discovery and development.
