Democratic National Convention In Minneapolis For 2012

At work, I’m doing some work to help bring the Democratic National Convention to Minneapolis in 2012. While this is the Democratic National Convention, just as Saint Paul hosting the 2008 Republican National Convention was good for our Capital City’s and our region’s economy, so too will bringing in the Democrats be good for both our economy and, long term, the national exposure the event will bring. Found at Vimeo from DNC Minneapolis 2012.
