Ways to be featured

  • How to be featured: Email our Director of Communications at [email protected] any event details and ideally an event link to either a website or a landing page. We need to be able to copy the text so short press releases are helpful but PDF documents that can’t be highlighted and copied are not helpful. JPG or PNG files are also not helpful because we can’t easily copy the text.
