What We’ll Do
Come join us for ONA St. Louis’ second event of the year. Join us on Thursday, February 22, where we’ll host a panel discussion on how journalists are using Instagram to tell stories, promote their work and engage with their audience.
What You Can Expect
As per usual, free pizza, local St. Louis beer as well as soda and other non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. This month, we will be ordering pizza from Pizza Head (all their pies are vegetarian).
The event will be held on the upper level of TechArtista, a co-working space located at 4818 Washington Boulevard, in the Central West End. Free street parking is available along both Olive Street and Washington Avenue.
Once you arrive, make your way up the spiral staircase to the common area, where you will be greeted by one of the group’s co-organizers.
