Haven’t made your Oscar night party plans yet?  Look no further. If you haven’t been to Meddin Studios, the state-of-the-art digital production facility where President Obama visited just 24 hours ago, here’s your chance.

Come join a cast of co-sponsors including yours truly, Savannah Film Commission, Stagefront Presentation, Image is Everything, the South Magazine, and Paragon Design group for the 82nd Academy Awards. That’s right, it’s time to celebrate west coast style on the east coast and do it for a good cause — Oscar Night at Meddin will benefit the Backus Children’s Hospital.

As you arrive on March 7th, you will be walking the red carpet where you will be greeted by Meddin’s valet, the South Magazine, champagne and flash bulbs. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour at 7:30pm with hors d’oeuvres and various movie snacks.

And, with help from Stagefront this years academy awards will be broadcast on the big screen. (There will be an optional Oscar pool in all the major categories.)

As many of you may know, we are in the midst of a transition.  As such, we’ve formed a volunteer lead “transition team” to help us evaluate, determine and cooperatively establish TCCa’s future in this community.

The team is also dedicated to discovering the best growth strategies for Savannah and the surrounding business community, and input from that community is critical. 

To help us collect your input, we’ve assembled a short, 3 minute anonymous survey:

Please take a few moments to give us your thoughts. It will be vital information in helping us determine the best path moving forward.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts!

After our initial blog post calling for 140 character pitches as to why YOU should win two $800 tickets to IxDA, we were swamped with dozens of entries and we’ve finally narrowed down the crop to the winners (as we see it.)  There were many great submissions, but ultimately had to make a choice and we tried to reward those who flexed their right brain muscles.

First of all, we were THRILLED with all the enthusiasm. Thank you, thank you to everyone who participated. You guys rock and we’re psyched we got to interact a little with you! After all, isn’t that the point?

Second of all, drumroll, please…!!!

Winners (Full pass to entire conference, ~ $800 value)

Winner #1: Ben Sykes

Winner #2: Eric Berkman

“Dear

Looking Forward to 2010: An Open Letter from the Executive Director

First, a little history

Thirteen years ago, the networking and advocacy organization called the Coastal Business, Education and Technology Alliance (CBETA) was founded. Six years ago, the effort to brand this region as the “Creative Coast” began as The Creative Coast Initiative (TCCi) and two years ago the two were merged to form The Creative Coast Alliance (TCCa).

For the past 18 months, the organization’s mission has been to help create, grow and attract higher wage jobs and knowledge-based businesses, further developing a creative and innovation-driven economy in and around Savannah/Chatham County. With ongoing support by the City of Savannah, Chatham County and the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA), TCCa has brought together the purposes, processes, programs and people of the two previous organizations and made some meaningful progress in the achievement of our mission at the same time.
