COREY Selected To Speak At 2012 FutureM Conference
MICHAEL MCPHERSON AND DR. JAMES TRACY WILL DISCUSS HOW SCHOOLS MUST MARKET AND EDUCATE DIFFERENTLY
WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Corey McPherson Nash (COREY), a leading national branding and design firm, announced today that it has been selected to speak at the 2012 FutureM Conference. The panel discussion entitled "Who Needs School Anyway?" will feature Michael McPherson, Partner at COREY and Dr. James Tracy, Headmaster, Cushing Academy. The panel discussion will be held on October 25th from 4-5:30pm at the Microsoft Center in Cambridge, Ma.
The FutureM committee selected COREY's proposed topic, "Who Needs School Anyway?" because of its forward thinking proposal regarding education. COREY has been collaborating with their client, Cushing Academy, to launch the school's "Ednexus" initiative–its provocative forum on what is next in education. Today's students are "digital natives" and with current and emerging technology, there is no limitation to time, space, and content. Educational paradigms have been dismantled. Schools not only have to educate differently but they must market differently. If schools use the rules and tools of the business world, they will create better leaders who are more prepared in this digital economy.
"Who Needs School Anyway" will be presented as a "Lessons From Elsewhere" topic so that marketers of all kinds know they can attend and learn a new idea from an industry they may not be familiar with. FutureM brings a one-of-a-kind experience to national marketing and media trendsetters by debating the cutting-edge development and future of marketing. Programs are unique, forward-thinking, and will challenge, integrate and bring to life what tomorrow holds for businesses in the digital age.
