SmartTalk ConnectedConversations Connects Women with Celebrities in a New Fashion; Celebrities, Businesses, Charities and Women What More

e Could You Ask for!

SmartTalk ConnectedConversations Creates Unforgettable Connected Conversations in the 2012 Season in multiple cities. Tampa, FL, September 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- SmartTalk has found a way to connect women to pioneers of the world, their friends, family, colleagues, businesses and charities in a totally new fashion. Women are craving connections in the mist of their busy lives and what better way to do that than start with other empowering women to help mentor them in their own lives. Women want to find other people who can help inspire them in their work, personal life, with their friendships and even their love life. SmartTalk is offering a chance for women to get this once a month, January through May, in several cities throughout the country by hosting a unique format that allows the audience to directly interact with the speakers. "I was particularly moved by Diane Keaton's inspiring talk. Diane's talk reminded me to embrace (rather than resent or take for granted) the things we, as women, do for our loved ones, and to realize the profound effect our actions have on those whose lives we touch. The power that all women possess within, our innate nurturing ability, can alter, expand, and improve the lives of all those around us if we're willing to follow our instincts and do so." - Joanne Mieszkowski. Even speakers are seeking out SmartTalk to get a chance to speak to this group of women! They are approached by hundreds of speakers each year to get a chance to work with a professional company that connects them with an audience seeking connections. It's an amazing opportunity to connect. I'd pay them just to have the chance to connect with this kind of audience again. This is different. It's not just theater. It's not a one-way dialog. It's certainly not a lecture.... - Geralyn Lucas, Speaker Not only do they offer a connection to celebrities but also to their community. Community businesses partner up to help support women's programming and help introduce women to businesses that understand what women want. Each partner is handpicked for the audiences we serve and with women in mind. I just wanted to drop you a note and say Thank You! As you know Bankers Trust made some strategic changes in the marketing philosophy associated with the SmartTalk sponsorship. Our goal this year was to reach out to people who currently do not bank with Bankers Trust. With the small informal format of the pre-receptions we have a great opportunity to share with the attendees a little about Bankers Trust in a relaxed setting. Thanks again for all your hard work and helping give extra value to an already valuable
