Working with the Press

3:00 - 4:30 PM Ballroom B

Whether it's getting the word out on your projects, products and events, or getting ahead of news that isn't so good, knowing how to work with members of the press and media outlets -- and who to talk to -- makes a huge difference in how you and your organization are seen by potential partners, investors and audience members. Meet and learn from representatives of some of New Mexico's most prominent news outlets.
