Capacity
We have limited capacity for this event, so we ask that only one participant from each event attends Meet the Media. If you need to be accompanied by another cast member, or carer, due to accessibility requirements please get in touch with the Artist and Venue team.
Event Format
This is a speed dating style event where you will have 2 minutes to pitch your show/venue to each outlet. If you don’t get a chance to talk to a specific outlet, please approach a member of Adelaide Fringe’s staff at the event.
If you can no longer make the session, please let us know so we can open up a space to our waitlist.
Pro-Tips
Some pro-tips for the event:
1. Practice your pitch – You have 2 minutes, make them count.
2. Bring some physical materials – e.g. a flyer, a business card, a media release. Bonus points if it’s specific to Meet the Media and has a QR Code linking to an online Media Kit.
3. Come dressed to impress – Got a great a costume for your show? Wear it to be remembered.
4. Chat to the Adelaide Fringe team – We will be there to support you.
