Investor Relations: Finding, Soliciting, and Fussing 
December 16th, 2011

“Show me the money.”  How to find it?  How to make every investment a positive experience for those involved?  This one day seminar will review specific strategies for how to identify financial sources, how to develop and present an investment proposition.  And finally, how to communicate, inform and involve investors as the project unfolds.

Marketing, Measurement & Analysis: ( Webinar Simulcast)
February 10th, 2012

In an era when the ability to understand the demographics of our customers and their ticket buying behavior becomes increasingly crucial, we need to amp up our ability to more deeply mine the data we have at hand.

Sales Tactics: What To Do? When To Do It? What to Spend?
May 4th, 2012

There are an overwhelming number of industry wide marketing efforts that producers use to sell tickets and promote their shows, but how do you identify which ones will work best for you? How much do you have to invest in order to see results? Do some tactics work better for musicals than plays? This course will outline traditional strategies, new industry initiatives, and out of the box ideas.
