I love, love, loved this event last year. Meeting these folks face to face was incredibly valuable to me. There are times where you wonder if they really DO like PR people, but seriously, if you do as they say and make a connection and have a good idea, and aren’t pushy, that relationship will take you far.
Lots of new names on this list, I’ll be there…
