Abstract:
"Brand yourself" is a panel discussion on marketing and PR for engineers who are trying to further establish a regional presence, or a niche market within a larger geographical framework. You already have a market, and solid goals for your career. But how can you lock down a market for yourself? What troubles do you encounter in selling yourself to clients? How do you talk about rates? What is your role in helping establish a strong audio community in your region? The panel discussion will address these issues and more, as we navigate the often complicated world of being a "brand."
