Upon landing in Calgary in 2009, he co-founded Indie403, an Arts Management company, to help musicians with the business side of their art.  This led to diving into the world of social media marketing, visual promotions, photography, education, and web development (primarily with WordPress).  He has worked with not-for-profit arts organizations and small businesses, plays the piano, hikes\/skis in the mountains and volunteers for many cultural festivals.  Andrew likes being in positions to help tell people\u2019s stories in the most comfortable way for them. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewdforbes.com\" target=\"_blank\">andrewdforbes.com<\/a> | <strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/forbesandrewd\/\" target=\"_blank\">@forbesandrewd<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Forbes is on the Building Themes For Clients: What You Need To Know When Handing Over The Keys To End Users., learn more about the panel here After earning concurrent Business Administration (International Business) and Arts (Music) Bachelor Degrees &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/speaker\/andrew-forbes\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"assistive-text\">Andrew Forbes<\/span>  <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13754148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_wcpt_user_name":"","footnotes":""},"speaker_group":[],"class_list":["post-180529","wcb_speaker","type-wcb_speaker","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=96&d=mm&r=g","128":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=128&d=mm&r=g","256":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=256&d=mm&r=g","512":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/13058eab2b0dab58f09db19dd9c631d8cca5379043a81d413d051eb9a40babd1?s=512&d=mm&r=g"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speakers\/180529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speakers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wcb_speaker"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13754148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180529"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speakers\/180529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":180553,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speakers\/180529\/revisions\/180553"}],"sessions":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sessions\/180118?_embed=1&context=view"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wcb_speaker_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calgary.wordcamp.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker_group?post=180529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
