Our “Meet the Media” event has always been one of our most highly attended programs each year. Using our 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. 

*NEW THIS YEAR* - as the media landscape continues to evolve, we're inviting representatives from new, non-traditional media outlets such as influencers, bloggers and podcasters! 

Space is limited for this event to allow enough time for all attendees to meet with media outlets, so be sure to register! 

Save your spot and watch this space as we confirm media participants.
