In a unique public-private partnership, the city joined forces with the Noisette Company to outline a comprehensive plan to attract jobs, improve services, restore environmental quality, promote recreation, reduce crime and generally revitalize the area.

Convention Center: Room 301/302/303 Tate Linden is the spark plug for Stokeﬁre’s creative engine. Quite simply, he’s in the business of “naming stuff.” In Tate’s career he’s been responsible for the launch of more than sixty products and services and for more than a hundred names and taglines. Tate will share with you the common misconceptions that dampen marketing and messaging effectiveness. He’ll also show you how paying attention to the way you frame your message can be far more important than the money you spend to promote it. Take a look at naming, taglines, marketing campaigns, logos and other common tools available to marketers, and learn how each can add or detract from the brand. After hearing Tate’s presentation, your messages will make your audiences not only take notice, but also take action.
