“As Public Relations Director at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, I’ve been attending the BAM conference for nearly 10 years. It’s my favorite conference because it allows for the opportunity to network with peer Business Schools and have an earnest exchange with top tier journalists focused on higher ed and business.”

Sarah Magnus-Sharpe, Director of PR & Communications, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell University

“BAM is all about the people -- the event has extended my team's connections to reporters essential to our media relations efforts and has resulted in additional coverage made possible by the one-on-one conversations that are built into the event. The conference also has helped me build a wonderful network of colleagues from other top business schools over the past decade. I encourage anyone in media relations or communications at a business school to attend.”

"As always, BAM was a highlight of my Fall. As for the questions, I really liked the non-traditional outlets. In this case, Vice, Innovation Nation, Quartz, Wired Social Media—getting to know about new audiences and new roles is extremely valuable."

Ryan Underwood, Editor, Vanderbilt Magazine, Vanderbilt University

"We had a great time at BAM! I felt lucky to have gotten the chance to go this year. The venue was wonderful, the panels were great, and I really enjoyed getting to know colleagues from other schools. It's fun to hear how other people work."

"I can honestly say, each year the BAM conference gets better and better. Thanks again for all you do!"

“Wynne Events are a much better use of resources than sending PIOs to meet reporters at science conferences. At those, reporters are busy during the day filing stories, and at the social events in the evenings, the reporters are relaxing and don’t want to be bothered with pitches. The Wynne Events are straight-forward. The journalists are there looking for story ideas from representatives of the top universities in North America, and they are receptive to hearing what you have to say.
It works well for everyone involved.” 

Steve Tally, Senior Marketing Strategist, Purdue University

"The format of MED-PR was excellent – hearing from reporters about what they want,then opening up for questions from the group, and then having one-on-one
time to pitch/talk with – EXTREMELY valuable. I could see someone from our office attending this conference every year. 
MED-PR is the best conference I’ve seen for media relations in academic medicine."
