Next Thursday I will be in New York again for another American Express OPEN Forum event: “Standing Out from the Crowd.” This one features succesful entrepreneurs who have transformed their businesses through their unique marketing approaches: famous chef Mario Batali, maternity clothing designer Liz Lange, and the iconic Blue Man Group. Author Jeanne Chatzky will be the moderator. The in-person event is sold out - like prior events - but you can participate via a live webcast. To participate over the Web through the live webcast, all you need to do is go here and enter your email address to register: http://www.openforumonline.com Then simply return to the site at the following time to participate via the Web. You will be able to submit questions online, too. When: November 16, 2006 at 8:00 PM Eastern U.S. time
