I’m coordinator of Semiofest’s series of informal online “sessions.” These events are intended not only to share best practices among, but to nurture collegiality and friendship within the global semio community.

Coming up on May 14th (at 2 pm UK time)…

ASK THE SEMIOTICIAN

In our second session we will be taking a turn away from theory towards the commercial realities of doing semiotics. An extremely experienced panel will share anecdotes and their wisdom around the complexities of client management issues and trouble-shooting skills in semiotic projects they have worked on. All four speakers are previous organisers of Semiofest.

After all the panelists have introduced themselves and shared there will be a Q&A session.
