The February meetup will feature a video panel made up of video creatives and experts from Red Hat, Atlantic Creative Communications, and Triangle Blvd. We’ll be discussing how to use video in your marketing strategies, how video has changed in recent years, and where (we think) video is headed in the future.

If you’re considering using video in your marketing strategy, if you’re unsure of how or why video should be used, or even if you’re an expert yourself, this will be a great event to attend!

Cost: $5 suggested donation. All proceeds will be given to our featured charity, Haven House.
