Meet the Media is bedlam! Between the two-hour queues, the crazy costumes, and the desperate excitement in the air, Fringe Central was the most packed we've seen it over the duration of the 4-hour event. Meet the Media is an opportunity for performers to veritably speed-date with representatives from media outlets. They get a couple of minutes to pitch their show to editors, who will in turn dispatch reviewers to shows they find newsworthy.
The event is described thusly on edfringe.com:
An event unlike any other and one of the most popular opportunities at the festival, this is a chance to meet media representatives and get a face-to-face chance to promote your show. Last year saw representation from such publications as The Scotsman and the New York Times. Strictly two representatives from each event only and bring hard copies of news releases, flyers etc.

The Gryphon Venues Press Launch was just as wild though! POINT Hotel's beautiful penthouse was the perfect view of Edinburgh Castle and the reaches of the city. The entertainment, the drinks, and the company all blended together to create a unique atmosphere and some incredible networking opportunities for some of our students who could steel their stomachs and approach some of the media present at the party.
