No longer settling for the 30-second spot, brands strive to be more visible and more subtle at the same time, as the endangered spot gives way to reality show and video game tie-ins, and brand-generated content appears everywhere from YouTube and Xbox to airplanes and movie theaters. Those in the avant garde of the branding revolution report on what's working, what isn't, and where the trend is headed. Presented by the Center for Communication.

(at 42nd Street) The Importance of Being Funny
Tuesday, April 17
6:30 to 8:00 pm
When Bill Clinton was desperate to divert an unfriendly Washington Press Corps, humor was a tactic and speechwriter/humorist Mark Katz was his secret weapon. Katz, founder of The Sound Bite Institute (a "one-man comedy think tank"), has helped hundreds of politicians and corporate types sound like comedy pros. Katz offers pointers to aspiring writers, publicists, performers, public speakers and anyone else who wants to charm an audience, beguile their friends and just get everybody to lighten up already.
Mark Katz, humor writer; author, Clinton & Me: A Real Life Political Comedy
