Q&A: How to pitch to The Standard's 'Going Out' section

There's not a restaurant, pop up or exhibition opening its doors in the capital that The Standard's Going Out team doesn't know about. Section editor David Ellis joins us to talk about the myriad coverage opportunities for PRs within his pages as well as why Going Out isn’t just a what’s on guide. We’ll get into:

- What hospitality news excites the team?

- How can new openings in the culture scene get a place on the coveted ‘things to do’ lists?

- What practical things can you do to make your pitch stand out from the crowd?

Seats are £50 and are limited to 50 PRs. Please submit a question for the journalists on the booking form – attendees will have the chance to ask follow ups during the session. Book now if you want to join us.
