The title and theme of our seminar fell into place relatively quickly, and one that I am unashamed to take the credit for!  Media VI; A New Hope.  (I had brainstormed some other title suggestions to tie in with the Star Wars theme, such as ‘The (Work) Force Awakens’, or ‘The Phantom Graduate’, but they just didn’t have the same ring as the original.)

That contribution aside, it’s somewhat embarrassing that we’re less than three weeks away from our presentation, and I have been unsuccessful in finding any guests either willing or available to participate in our seminar.  It’s a nervous waiting game, sending out no more than three emails at a time so that we don’t double-book, but the first wave of emails was unsuccessful.  After finally landing a well known Australian Producer, I was immediately relieved, only to be cruelly thrust back to square one after they cancelled.

I’m really starting to feel the pressure after watching the previous seminars, particularly the Social Media group, who managed to put on a wonderful event, despite having less than two weeks to fully prepare.  I have a lot of faith in the rest of our team, but the success of our seminar may very well be dependent on who I can contact that isn’t out of the country in three weeks time.
