Exhibitor PR ToolsAs you make your PR and marketing plans, we encourage you to use CTIA WIRELESS 2008® as a platform for announcing your company’s significant Second Quarter/Spring news. No other venue brings together all of the key reporters who cover wireless technology. Press attendance at CTIA WIRELESS has nearly doubled over the past two years with representation from top news outlets from around the world. And they are hungry for news! Our CTIA PR staff (contact information below) is here to help you and your team plan your public relations activities for the show. Feel free to contact them with any questions or assistance you may need leading up to CTIA WIRELESS 2008. Our PR team is in constant contact with the media, and we are interested in learning about any new products, services or company announcements you have planned. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement for any exhibitors. Media Strategies, Inc. for CTIA WIRELESS
Please review the following PR opportunities: Exhibitors must assign a PR contact to gain access to the pre-registered press list, which will become available Monday, February 11, 2008. Please fill out the Exhibitor PR Contact Form for further instructions. It is important that all PR representatives complete the Exhibitor PR Contact Form so that you will receive correspondence from the CTIA PR team concerning the pre-registered press list, press conference room availability, media interview rooms, and other announcements and activities concerning the show. In the Spirit of CTIA's Going Green initiative, we encourage exhibitors to post their press kits in the Virtual Press Office or provide kits on flash drives. Exhibitors may drop off their press kits in the CTIA Media Center located at the LVCC, North Hall Room 251 beginning Monday, March 31 at 8:00 a.m. Only folders, press releases, CDs and flash drives are permitted – absolutely no pens, notebooks, t-shirts, hats, etc. will be allowed. CTIA does not accept shipped delivery of press kits, so exhibitors should plan to hand-deliver press kits to the Media Center. We suggest bringing between 150-200 press kits to the Media Center and urge you to keep some press kits on hand in your booth. Please consider putting your press kit on a flash drive – it saves significantly on paper waste and the press appreciates it! Only Exhibitors may leave their press kits in the designated area within the Media Center; this includes companies who have purchased meeting rooms on the show floor. Media Center (onsite at the Las Vegas Convention Center) Location: LVCC, North Hall Room 251 The Media Center, equipped with computers, printers and WiFi, is a working newsroom that allows reporters and analysts to cover show news in an efficient and comfortable environment.
