Hello,
I hope this email finds you well! The Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at OU is thrilled to invite you to our 3rd annual Creative Media Marketplace on February 15-17, 2024.
This exciting event connects our talented students with industry leaders like yourself for mentoring, networking, and insights into careers in film, television, and beyond. You are receiving this email because you and/or your company has participated in the past. Or, you expressed interest but couldn’t participate due to scheduling conflicts.
With a few exceptions, we are keeping the same program and participation activities the same. On Friday the 16th, we’ll have a full day of panels, mentoring sessions, and booths to engage with students interested in a spectrum of creative careers. There will also be programming on Thursday evening and Saturday morning.
As a valued professional in the field, we would be honored if you could participate in one or more of the following ways:
– Host an informational booth on Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
– Offer speed mentoring from 10 a.m. to Noon.
– Serve on a panel Friday afternoon and/or Saturday morning
This event strives to bring our students and the professional media industries together. We are holding this in February because that time of year appears to have the least number of conflicts with scheduled productions. Even so, we understand if you unfortunately cannot make it this time. Please let us know of your interest even if you can’t make it so we can stay in touch!
Please reply to everyone and let us know how you would like to contribute to this year’s Marketplace. We will be happy to provide further details after we hear back from you! Students always find this event incredibly rewarding thanks to the time and wisdom of guests like you.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Warm regards,
Dr. Ralph Beliveau
