2005 SEDS-USA Conference Publicity

From SEDSWiki

• College Newspapers
  • Link to about 100 or so papers--John 22:10, 11 Jul 2005 (MST)
  • Maybe we can get the colleges' funding organizations to cough up the money for one journalist from each university to come to the conference. Getting SEDS stories out to campuses that have never heard of us will probably significantly boost SEDS membership, as well as get out news of the conference to exactly the sorts of people whose participation in space-related events would be the most valuable.--Brianna 19:46, 17 Jul 2005 (MST)

• Contact MTV about covering the Conference so more people know about what we are trying to do, even if they do not attend the conference. (Christina)--McQuirk 17:11, 13 Jul 2005 (MST)
  • Here's something to think about... what would make some of the MTV crowd be interested in the conference w/o compromising our core values? If we can answer this question, maybe we can make a really good pitch to them. Hell, maybe we can get them to fund part of the Zero-G thing and bring one of their people and a camera to ride on it... --Kirk 14:55, 13 Jul 2005 (MST)
