Maximizing Your Media Event

Trade shows have been a core marketing tool for new product launches. But all too often features and benefits have outweighed authentic brand messaging. In this professional development session, Darius Lane, Public Relations Manager with John Deere, will share how John Deere has successfully woven storytelling, narrative control, and thought leadership into their media events.

Join us for this breakfast professional development event hosted by our friends at Burns and McDonnell. Networking and breakfast will be at 7:30 am, with the presentation from 8:00-9:00 am.

Burns and McDonnell is located at 9450 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO. Please park in the visitor's lot and use the lobby entrance for 9450 Ward Parkway. Follow the signs for Training Room 1A.
