Our “Meet the Media” event has always been one of our most highly-attended programs. Using the popular “speed pitching” format, attendees can meet one-on-one with members of the media during timed speed pitching sessions. For a few minutes, you'll have the undivided attention of assignment editors, reporters and producers from local TV, radio and print outlets looking for story ideas. The program will also include top pitching tips from our media guests - a chance to hear how they most like to receive pitches. Space is limited for this event to allow enough time for all attendees to meet with media outlets, so be sure to register.
