Meet the Media Round 2

Calling all PR and communications pros!

WMPRSA's Meet the Media event has always been one of our most highly attended programs. In this special 2015 Round 2 version, we will welcome the return of our popular speed pitching format.

Throughout the program, participants will meet one-on-one with members of the media during timed speed pitching sessions. For three 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 and maximize your time.

Arrive early to book the coveted appointments. The appointment sign-up sheets will be available at 11 a.m. on a first come, first served basis. 

Many members of the West Michigan media have been invited, and we are still working to confirm the list of attendees.
