Take a Seminar from HerGeekness

Custom seminars for your group or event from Anne-Marie "HerGeekness" Concepción are sure audience-pleasers.

Marketing your Creative Services Online

Want to see some of the best resources for
"Web Marketing for Creatives" from Anne-Marie's
seminar? See its companion DesignGeek Central
resource page.

Looking for an entertaining, expert presenter for your next group meeting? Anne-Marie is fast on her feet, witty, smart, and above all, has a natural enthusiasm for what she presents that is infectious and inspiring. And she backs it up with great visuals and comprehensive handouts.

Just ask anyone who attended her recent seminars at Adobe's Partners in Publishing Conference, Scott Kelby's Mac Design Conference, the Chicago Creative Coalition and others, with audiences ranging from 50 to 700+.

  • Just wanted to let you know I was at the Adobe conference a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed your talk. I wish you could have spent more time up there since I found you to be most informative and entertaining. I look forward to seeing you again at another Adobe conference! —Deb Z, Manager, Online Services
  • Congrats on the fantastic talk on web marketing you did for C3, Anne Marie!!! This was interesting even to a non-geek!!! — Dan L, Photographer
  • I really enjoyed your contribution to the Adobe show; by far the most useful tips of the day — and most humorous presentation! —Jack F, Marketing Director
 

Anne-Marie's deadpan take on quirky InDesign "features" kept the audience laughing at the Adobe Partners in Publishing Conference

From her home base in Chicago, Anne-Marie has years of experience providing custom seminars throughout the country on a variety of print or web design-related topics. She loves speaking in front of groups and it shows! As a lecturer or as a workshop leader, you can count on her to provide a wealth of up-to-date and comprehensive information to your audience from 10 to 1,000, with plenty of real-world anecdotes to share, all delivered in her uniquely relaxed and funny style.

Past seminars (all of which can be adapted to your event) include:

  • "InDesign CS: Tips from the Trenches" (Adobe Partners in Publishing Conference)
  • "Transitioning to OS X: A Survival Guide for Designers and their Managers" (Dynamic Graphics Training travelling seminar, see sidebar for registration info)
  • "Principles of Page Layout" and "Marketing Your Creative Business Online" (Mac Design Conference)
  • "Power Style Sheets in InDesign CS" (Chicago InDesign User Group)
  • "Marketing Your Creative Business Online" (The Chicago Creative Coalition)
  • "100 Photoshop Tips in 45 Minutes" and "Fixing Scans from Hell" (Minnesota Free Press Association)
  • "Web Site Development: Essential Pre-Design Steps" and "Maintaining and Marketing Your Web Site" (Robert Woods Johnson Foundation Annual Directors Meeting)
  • "XPress Style Sheet Secrets" (ThunderLizard QuarkXPress Seminars)
  • "Ten Steps to Problem-Free Digital Files" (Chicago Press Corporation customer seminar)

Of course, she can develop a seminar on a different topic that best suits your group or event, or brainstorm with you on any ideas you might have.

Call Anne-Marie at 312-946-1100 or e-mail her to discuss how she can help make your next event a memorable success.

Anne-Marie developed a one-day seminar for Dynamic Graphics Training called OS X Transition: A Survival Guide for Designers that anyone can attend.

In it, she covers OS X from the perspective of a creative professional; with a special focus on managing fonts, printers, servers, networking and troubleshooting.

The DGT seminar is not hands-on, but she keeps it lively and interesting nonetheless, as attendee comments attest (see below); and it comes with a killer handout. Individuals can sign up for the seminar, which is travelling to different cities in the U.S. throughout 2005, on DGT's site.

OR, you can have the seminar come to you! Anne-Marie can customize the content to your workgroup; and they get the same great handout of tips, secrets, and resource links. On-site OS X training seldom takes more than a half-day. Go to Request a Quote if you'd like more information on this.

Some of the resources from her seminar handout appear on the OS X for Designers resource page in the DesignGeek Central.

A Few DGT OS X Seminar Evaluation Comments:

I haven't studied OS X yet and I wanted to avoid problems. Now I feel MUCH more comfortable about making the change to OS X.

Jim C,
Pre-Press Manager
San Francisco CA

Excellent instructor, very knowledgable, a great communicator and had very good materials which will be very helpful in the future. It's 2:30 and most of my questions are answered already. I would take any course this particular instructor taught.

Wendy W,
Creative Director
Seattle, WA

Appreciated Anne-Marie's sense of humor and anecdotal information as well as formal presentation. I feel reassured and excited about the transition, whereas before, I was dreading the switch from stories my friends told about switching and having to figure it out themselves.

Rebecca L,
Senior Designer
Washington, DC
