WANNA COME?
FOR SECURITY REASONS, NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED WHO HASN'T SIGNED-UP IN ADVANCE--TICKETS MUST BE RESERVED OR PURCHASED BY MIDNIGHT, TUESDAY, 9/29.
BRING WITH YOU:
• A government-issued photo I.D. for access to office buildings
• Money for lunch or pack a lunch
• A MetroCard or money/credit card to purchase one since most tours require some subway travel
• A notebook for notes and a bag since you'll be getting handouts and magazines
• Umbrella/raingear and comfortable shoes
since we'll be walking to the different offices. Also, please dress appropriately. No need to dress too
formally, but keep in mind you'll be meeting lots of potential future
employers and in various professional settings.
• Questions for your tour hosts!
Don't miss out on this opportunity to really find out what working on
magazines is like ... think about all the things you want to know, write
'em down and be ready to ask your hosts about them.
Leave
the résumés and portfolios at home ... we'll have a Portfolio Review
event later in the year. Although, it's never a bad idea to have
business cards with your contact info handy, in case you want to
exchange information with your SPD-U Tour Guides or with your fellow
tour members.
THE FINE PRINT
*When you register, you'll get a chance to indicate which of the tours are your top choices.
Tours are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis ... so the
earlier you RSVP, the better chance you have of getting your top choice.
This also means that if you are part of a large group registering, you
may not all get assigned the same tour. Tour assignments will be given
to you the morning of the event.
Rest assured that ALL of the tours
are awesome, so even if you don't get your first choice, it'll still be a
great experience.
Also be aware tours are subject to change.
Please note that registration closes at midnight EST on Tuesday night, 9/29/15 The registration deadline is now Wednesday, 9/30 at noon.
Refunds are available until noon on Wednesday if you find you're not able to
come. After that, however, refunds are no longer
available as we reserved the space for you and need enough time to
fill the spot.
