We’ll Do It Live! We’ll Do It Live!

Great news! Huge thanks to Brian Stemmler from Stemmler Productions, a local video broadcast media production company. RE Barcamp Minneapolis-St. Paul will now have portions of event streamed live for those that can’t attend.

Brian has plenty of experience in the video production industry. Don’t trust me? Just check out a snippet from his bio on his website:

I have worn a lot of hats in the Television/Film Industries since 1983, when I won an Emmy Award as an 11 year old actor in St. Louis.  Since then I have had numerous exciting experiences in front of and behind the camera, working with the famous, the infamous and many interesting characters in between.  22 years later I get to enjoy another Emmy nomination, this time as a Writer/Co-Producer!

We are excited to have Brian on board and want to thank him for everything in advance for everything that he is doing. He also plans on participating/leading sessions based around video and how it can help connect with consumers. A session not to be missed.
