Calling all marketing and PR people: If you have clients, VCs, board members, and founders/CEOs who think it's a snap to get incredible media coverage and wonder why it's taking you so long, send them to this event. You've tried to tell them what it takes. Let them hear it firsthand from current/former writers for the Wall Street Journal and Forbes, a Forrester analyst, and a seasoned PR exec. This event is part of Entrepreneurship Week at Stanford. For those of you outside the area, we're hoping to also podcast it on the STVP Educators Corner website afterward.
