Thanks everyone who attended the last event for making it such a success. We've got a larger room this time but please call to RSVP so we can be sure to accomodate all that want to be there. ------- Art of the Proposal Friday, Nov. 1 12:30-2:00 p.m. Parsons Auditorium @ 66 W. Fifth Avenue New York, New York What are client expectations? What strategies/deliverables can project managers/freelancers utilize in successfully responding to RFPs? Clients increasingly expect more with less, and up front work, e.g. rapid prototyping often now supercedes wireframes. In an extremely tight market, putting together the right proposal is the critical factor in a project success or failure, regardless of the budget. Please join The New School's Computer Instruction Center (CIC) and Web Producers Organization (WPO) for a discussion of these issues with Chris Engle, VP of Sales for Plumb Design, Christine M. Erikson, Senior Consultant with CTGi, Kate Hartnick, President of Hartnick Consulting, and Sandy William, Director of Online Services at the Barnett Group.
