Valuable PR opportunities you receive as an exhibitor at the DesignCon 2009 include access to our Pre-Registered Press and Analyst List as well as the show list from the previous two years.
This list is provided in an Excel report, sorted by company (publication), which includes full contact information including phone numbers and e-mails of all press that have pre-registered for the event and a separate list of press that have registered for the two previous DesignCon events. You will also receive press contacts of our media sponsors.
With this list, you will have the ability to contact press and analysts with company news. You will have the chance to extend invitations for media tours and press events such as breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners. The list will also aid you in arranging interviews for your company’s top executives and experts as well as providing the media with photos and company facts.
Please keep in mind to only send newsworthy items to our media as we want to avoid spamming them with unnecessary information.
To obtain these lists, submit your PR contact to kpost@iec.org.
Though the DesignCon 2009 team is eager to aid your company in all its PR efforts, we highly encourage you to invite your company’s own press contacts as well.
