Pre-K 2013

| Mainz, Germany |
5 - 6 Jun 2013
Pre-K Press Briefing
At the K, editors are overloaded with news stories, so it would be good to be able to get their attention well ahead. You can do exactly that during the EMG Multi-Client Pre-K Press Conference, which will be held from 5-6th June 2013 in Mainz, Germany. At this exclusive event we will be bringing together in one location some 30 Plastics & Chemicals editors representing key publications from around the world.
This 2-day event is divided into individual 1 or 2 hour press briefing sessions, providing access to senior editorial staff from key trade media in an exclusive setting. Participating companies benefit by sharing the organizational and location costs, as well as the travel and living expenses of the attending editors. These savings in time and overheads are substantial but the real benefit for you is the unique opportunity with a group of leading Tier 1 editors to present your story and discuss industry topics.
The results from our previous events for K 2004, K 2007 and K 2010 were excellent. To get an impression of the Pre-K event in 2010 - please click here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi7jbAu6fNc
