Lately, Black Friday seems like the closest thing yet to the Zombie Apocalypse. People’s brains are overpowered by a near-deadly withdrawal of tryptophan, gravy and wine, and then they swarm en masse to retailers’ doors hoping to fight and shove their way to a $4 toaster.
This holiday season, you can avoid becoming a victim of the madness and knock a couple things off your shopping list from the cozy comfort of your recliner.
We’re knocking $100 off the standard registration price for SND Louisville. That’s only $295. This is a great gift for a friend, loved one, or yourself. What you’ll learn at SND’s Workshop will last longer than any $4 toaster. The Student and Educator price will drop to $200.
So to sum up, don’t make a bad bet and ruin your Thanksgiving weekend by living out a scene from “28 Days Later.” Relax, save money and give a gift that will keep on giving. Register now!

Come to SNDCle if you like inspiration, if you like to create things, if you like to believe — there will be no rivers on fire and no rubber chicken will be served
Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Cleveland knows hard luck. Seriously, we’ve been called the “Mistake on the Lake,” our professional sports teams are far from great (far from good, actually), we’re in the “Rust Belt.” And our river caught fire. Yes, caught fire. But if you look closely, there’s an energy here. One of creativity, inspiration and innovation. It’s a place where people want to push harder, develop ideas, create things … make a difference. It’s a place that can draw a pretty strong parallel with the current state of our industry. Yes, things are changing — they have been for some time. Its uncomfortable, scary even. But just like here in Cleveland there is a huge opportunity to improve what we do. That’s why we’re the perfect host for SND’s 34th annual workshop. We want you to join us.
We’re building a different kind of workshop. First, we’re forcing folks out of the conference hotel so you can see some of the reasons why we love this city. You’ll walk a couple of blocks from the Hyatt Regency through downtown to One Cleveland Center, the site of some outstanding sessions. We won’t be serving any rubber chicken.
Come to Cleveland Oct. 11-13 for SND’s annual Workshop. Register here.
