Join us for Pitch Tank, where editors and reporters will offer advice on how, when and what to pitch for the best results. You'll hear pitches for the next great story or segment and will have the chance to submit your ideas to be presented to the panel.

Walk away with insights and ideas on how to better structure and deliver your next story angle in this highly interactive luncheon!

As part of the event, the media panel will evaluate pitches. If you have a pitch you would like to have critiqued, please email [email protected] no later than noon on Wednesday, Nov. 20. The moderator will present each pitch to the panel. The panel won't know from whom the pitch came. We anticipate approximately eight pitches will be presented to the panel at the event.

For members with the 2019 quarterly luncheon pass, this event is included.

This event is free for students.
