WMPRSA EVENT DETAILS
August 19 | Meet the Media
WMPRSA's annual "Meet the Media" event has always been one of our most highly attended programs. For the second time this year, we will welcome the return of our popular "speed pitching" format at our August program.
Throughout the program, participants will meet one-on-one with members of the media during timed speed pitching sessions. For a few minutes, you will have the undivided attention of news directors, editors and reporters from local television and radio stations, daily, weekly and monthly publications and online outlets.
These three-minute meetings go fast - so, be prepared, plan your story pitches in advance and maximize your time.
Come early to book those coveted appointments. The appointment sign-up sheets will be available at 11 a.m. In the coming weeks, WMPRSA will publish the list of expected media in future event notices, on our Facbook page (www.facebook.com/wmprsa), on Twitter (twitter.com/WMPRSA) and on our web site (www.wmprsa.com).
When: Thursday, August 19, 2010 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Where: The Gainey Conference Center, Cornerstone University
Attire: Business Attire
Fee: Event registration complimentary for Lunch Program subscribers, Member registration $30, Non-Member registration $40, Student registration $20
