Off to NABJ

Leaving for the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday. Very important tip: These are great events for making valuable contacts with like-minded audiences. And, if you have connected with someone, it makes it easier to get your articles printed/aired/blogged/mentioned/buzzed about.

I've been going to NABJ for five years, except for the year it was in Chicago for UNITY. This is the audience that is sensitive to what my clients are seeking for exposure. I'm going with tons of cards and eager to make new connections.
