Halifax startup hubs Volta and the Emera ideaHUB on May 23 will host a free seminar on media relations for startups, delivered by Entrevestor Co-Founder Peter Moreira.

Slated to be held at noon at the IdeaHUB on Dalhousie University's Sexton campus, the event will be a crash course for founders in how to build relationships with journalists and publications, as well as how to write press releases and get them in front of the right people — along with common mistakes to avoid.

Moreira has more than 30 years of experience as a journalist covering business in major European and Asian financial centres. He has reported on banking in Hong Kong for the South China Morning Post, covered European and U.K. finance for Bloomberg, and served as London bureau chief at mergers and acquisitions magazine The Deal of New York. He launched Entrevestor in 2011 with his wife, journalist and author Carol Moreira.
