Topic: 'That a good spiel is all you need'
Date: Sunday 28 February
Time: 7.30 - 9.30pm
Venue: Eric Caspary Learning Centre, Shalom College
Price: $15 / $5 (concession)

Featuring:
Professor Rodney Marks - BSA,  MBA, COD
Paul Baram - lawyer and Yiddish spieler (heh heh) 
Jonathan Herrman - IT expert (Improvising Theatre)

Larissa Cook - legal mind and revue star

To concide with both the beginning of the academic year and the festival of Purim, these seasoned spielers get in each others' faces to defend or decry that kosher old chestnut of "style over substance".

Is marketing all you need in this era of slick and instant communication?

Six highly qualified and self-styled opinion leaders get to grips with the definitive issue of the naughty noughties. With consumer advocate now publicist Geoff Sirmai embodying the issue as chairman and host.
