group Y kicks off 3rd Year with successful PR Industry Panel

group Y kicked off our 2009 event schedule with a bang on February 25th at the Grove of Anaheim. More than 140 action sports and youth marketing professionals joined us in a gorgeous setting for an expert panel discussion on the ins and outs of public relations. Industry heavy-hitters Shana Frahm of Burton, Chris Overholser of Vans and The Bungalow PR's Stacie Krajchir shared their insight and experiences on crisis management, effective pitching and planning strategies. Attendees also had a hands-on mini-workshop after the panel, addressing different PR scenarios and presenting them to the panel and the audience.

Check out photos, as well as recaps from both Transworld Business and Surf Expo as well. Its even being suggested group Y just might be the "most relevant social networking group—and also the most fun." Let us know what you think: groupYnetwork@gmail.com.

We want to again thank our event sponsors, G & C Event Production, our panelists, and all who attended. Its only going to get better from here for 2009!

Stay tuned!
