Top PR Tips for Live & Virtual Events:

The HIDDEN Media - all the industry magazines and publications are there at the event. You just can't see them because the show has a special room for them. Here's how to find them and get press:

• Start reaching out to industry media about 8 weeks prior to live events, 4 weeks prior for virtual
• If you are an exhibitor, ask the show management for a Media List, then start digging and contacting
• Call them to invite them to your booth for a 10-15 minute meeting. Give them something specific you would like to show them or talk to them about.
• Get on their calendar Early!
• Follow up with a Thank You note

The Press is the great equalizer for smaller companies. Gives you Social Proof you can use over and over.

Speaking Opportunities:

• Nearly every show has speaking opportunities
• Giving a talk or hosting a workshop or seminar positions you as credible, newsworthy, and a thought leader
• Make sure you are bringing VALUE
• Do NOT just give a long sales pitch
• Pick one topic and submit multiple versions - one "punny", one serious/formal, one conversational.
• You submit multiple to give yourself a better chance of getting chosen. You don't know who is on the selection committee and what kind of tone they are setting for the event.
• Bring your BEST content!! Don't leave it out. People will want to do business with you!
