We do our best to make people understand what this site is about. We want to be very open about why we started it, how we run it, and how you can be a part of it. In case you’re still unclear about any of it, though, we’ve got another opportunity to present our case to anyone who would like to hear it.
The people behind This Is Reno have been selected to hold a panel discussion on what the purpose of the site is at the 2010 Nevada Interactive Media Summit. The summit is in its second year and is happening at the Joe Crowley Student Union on the campus of the University of Nevada on March 6. Festivities begin at 9:00 am and continue until 5:00 pm. Specific presentation times are not yet set, but the program is incredibly diverse and covers an awful lot of interesting topics. The fact that it’s focused on Nevada is a plus, as well.
Our plan is to have as many of the staff members from This Is Reno (all volunteer) on hand to answer why we’re a part of it. Everyone’s reason is different, and we all have good reasons for getting involved with this. So if you’re interested in hearing us explain everything behind This Is Reno, grab up a spot for the summit, and take in a few of the other speakers while you’re there. The summit sold out last year, so you may want to act quickly.
