Cirque du Soleil will perform on the second and final day of Mediabistro Circus. And because our goal is both to inspire and instruct, Cirque du Soleil director of creation Carmen Ruest will also talk about the high-wire act of starting a small company and spinning it out into a world-wide franchise.

That's Mediabistro Circus in a nutshell: fascinating presentations combined with practical lessons you can use in your own work.

And yes, the unicycle tango couple pictured will be performing. How adorable are those stripy socks?
