Held at a local restaurant or bar, eight-minute PR events will last approximately 90 minutes and will kick off with 20 minutes of appetizers and mingling, followed by the first four 8-minute private conversations. Executives will have just eight minutes to brief designated reporters on their latest company news or discuss happenings in the industry, and then - BRINGG, BRINGG - a bell rings and it's on to the next person. Participants then break for a 20-minute intermission, followed by four more 8-minute meetings.

At the end of the evening, reporters fill out a card and check a box if they'd like to hear more about a particular company they've met that night. Blanc & Otus will facilitate the next meeting, if need be.

Cost
There is no cost for journalists to attend the events. The fee for companies is $1000 per event, which includes two hours of media and messaging coaching beforehand and the guarantee of meeting eight members of the media in one night.
