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!
