Anderson Cooper Live in Vancouver: A 360 Degree View of the World with Anderson Cooper
While the world seems to appreciate Anderson Cooper as a solid journalist (the lead of CNN’s Anderson’s 360, or as a pretty handsome guy, I mostly link Anderson Cooper with his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Blame it on the fact that I was in the fashion world once, and that I read a story about him and his close relationship with his mother (and the photo of them together reminded me so much of my own very close relationship with my Mom).
Recently, I found out that on April 5th, 2012, Anderson Cooper will be giving a talk in Vancouver.
TD Bank Group is proud to present Anderson Cooper at The Vancouver Convention Centre on April 5th, 2012. This is a unique, opportunity to see the Emmy Award winning CNN anchor and host of his own syndicated talk show “Anderson” live, unscripted and in person in Vancouver.All eyes will be on the city as delegates fill the Vancouver Convention Centre for what is sure to be a spellbinding day as Anderson Cooper presents his “360 Degree View of the World”. This exclusive and rare engagement will be like nothing Vancouver has seen before.
After a pre-event reception of live music and mingling, a luncheon, and opening remarks from CTV’s Tamara Taggart, Anderson will discuss his life and his experiences while reporting for CNN on just about every major news story on the planet. HootSuite will then host a Q&A while Anderson takes questions from the audience and various social media platforms.
This event sounds like it’ll be a really interesting conversation. I have seen HootSuite moderate online conversations on Twitter and it will be a good opportunity for interaction with Cooper in the online and offline realm. Tickets are $175 and are all inclusive of the program for the day (to be purchased via Northern Tickets)
More on Anderson Cooper:
Anderson Cooper has become “the go to source” for reliable and up to the minute, unbiased views of current events and ground-breaking news. The veteran journalist famously keeps politicians and policy makers honest with in-depth reporting, illustrating broad ways of thinking. His modern approach whether it be through the use of social media or zoning in on relevant pop culture has helped engage a new generation to gain an interest in world affairs keeping viewers of all ages and backgrounds informed and aware of current news and social issues.Over the last year, few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict than Anderson Cooper. The anchor of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360°” has most recently reported on the uprisings in the Middle East, the aftermath of the earthquakes in Japan and Haiti as well as the BP oil spill.
This October, for the second consecutive year, Cooper teamed up with the Cartoon Network and Time Inc. for a multi-platform initiative to raise awareness of bullying. The special coverage included a town hall event moderated by Cooper. He also plays a pivotal role in CNN’s political coverage, anchoring from conventions and moderating select presidential debates including the CNN Republican debate from Las Vegas this past October. Cooper and the Anderson Cooper 360° newscast are winners of several major journalism awards, including multiple Emmy awards. In addition to Anderson Cooper 360°, Cooper is the author of “Dispatches from the Edge : A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival”.
