Exhibitor PR Tools

As you begin to make your PR and marketing plans, we encourage you to use International CTIA WIRELESS 2009 as a platform for announcing your company’s news. There is no other venue that brings together all of the key reporters and industry analysts who cover wireless technology. Press attendance at this event continues to grow with significant participation from business, IT, online and consumer press outlets from around the world.

The CTIA PR team is in constant contact with the media, and we’re interested in learning about any new products, services or company announcements you’re planning for the show. In addition to our team’s media outreach efforts, we regularly receive inquiries from journalists who are looking for the latest "exhibitor news."

Our PR team is here to help you plan and execute public relations activities for International CTIA WIRELESS 2009. Feel free to contact if you need any assistance or have any questions leading up to the show. We are also available onsite during the show to help you!

CTIA PR Contacts

PR Opportunities

Pre-Registered Media List

Exhibitors must assign a PR contact to access to the pre-registered press list, which will become available Tuesday, February 17, 2009. The first step to access the pre-registered press list is to fill out the Exhibitor PR Contact Form, which will ask you to create an account with a user name and password. You can then login and download the pre-registered press list as often as you like. Again, the pre-registered press list is only available to CTIA exhibiting companies.

The pre-registered press list contains only the names and contact information of reporters and analysts who have “opted in” to receive news and updates. The list provides you with most reporters’ beats and areas of news coverage interest. We strongly encourage you to examine this list closely and to only contact reporters and analysts who cover your market/beat. We strongly urge you not to email blast everyone on the list.
