To have your press kits on display in the press room, please have this pre-assembled material delivered to the Press Room on Monday, 26 March 2007. The C5 Press Room is located in Turquoise 1 at the Fiera Milano Congressi convention center. Aid members of the press with all your news releases and company information as they cover the C5 World Forum. Your on-line media kit will also be displayed in the C5 On-Line Media Centre or C5 Exhibitor News Page. Virtual Press Office (VPO) will maintain your on-line media kit daily and distribute your news releases to thousands of journalists, further expanding your reach. Participate by filling out an order form. The Exhibitor PR Manual details all the PR opportunities you are entitled to at the C5 World Forum.

You will have the opportunity to send news and invitations to pre-registered press and analysts with this list. PR contacts of exhibiting companies will receive this list with biweekly updates until the start of the show. Submit your PR contact to lreyes@iec.org to receive this list. If you are hosting analysts or members of the press, you can pre-register them. They must provide a business card to pick up their press badge at the show. Press registration is by the main registration counter in the Fiera Milano Congressi convention center. TecPreviews will be offered in the press conference room. Should your company desire to showcase a new product or service to attendees by using multimedia, a TecPreview is an excellent and unique venue.
