RTDNA @ UCF Annual Spring Seminar - Networking with Professionals in the Career of Television

Saturday, February 25, 2012 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Are you interested in a career in Radio or Television?

Join us for a whole day seminar with special guests from the industry, coming to speak just to you.

This year at the seminar we're using our digital tools like never before. Our twitter will be constantly updated ...(#SS2012) with top stories and information from sessions. We'll be offering for the first time, hands-on workshops, demo & resume critiquing, and much more.

Also this year, make sure you come equipped with your smart phone and laptop...you never know when it will come in handy. Don't forget your business cards to give out to our professionals at the end of each session.

Keep in mind etiquette and wear professional attire to make a GREAT impression!
