PRINT 09 Announces Media Days for Industry Editors
Modeled after Broadford & Maloney’s successful PRINT 05 Media Days, which drew leading editors from 50 industry publications to Chicago, PRINT 09 Media Days is again being produced with the assistance of Broadford & Maloney (BMI), a professional PR firm that markets advanced technology products, equipment and services throughout the graphic arts and packaging industries. “We are pleased to be working with GASC to make PRINT 09 Media Days a tremendous success for exhibitors and representatives of the domestic and international media,” commented Martin Maloney, Chairman of BMI.
The event’s two-day format is limited to 13 exhibitor presentation time slots, 1.5 hours or 45 minutes each. Mindful of today’s current economic realities, the show company is offering both presentation time slots to PRINT 09 exhibitors at 50% off the PRINT 05 investment, made possible through a GASC subsidy. A third ‘no-attend option’ benefit package is also available. Exhibitor on-site packages include lunch and dinner with editors on the day of their presentation for the added benefit of one-on-one networking in a relaxed and informal setting.
Three time slots have already been contracted by Presstek, Ricoh and Kodak, prior to this formal announcement. “Presstek is pleased to participate in Media Days 09, I have always found it to be very worthwhile and I look forward to sharing news about Presstek’s exciting new products,” said Jeff Jacobson, Chairman, President and CEO, Presstek.
PRINT 09 Media Days will further extend participating exhibitors’ exposure with the active support of the printing and publishing industry’s leading online media organization, WhatTheyThink. WhatTheyThink will provide up-to-the-minute on-site coverage by publishing daily special reports on all exhibitor presentations. In addition to WhatTheyThink.com’s online distribution, these special reports will be released to nearly 500 worldwide industry editors via Broadford & Maloney’s Graphic Arts Wire and GASC’s international media list for a combined outreach to nearly 100,000 industry media professionals. WhatTheyThink will also utilize a professional on-site studio to conduct video interviews with exhibitor presenters for multiple online postings leading up to PRINT 09.
