Summit2009 Speakers and Editors sign up complete... 7-year itch?

Working on the 7^th Globalpress Electronics Summit for 7 months I didn’t get the 7-year itch.  Instead - I am proud to report that our event attracted yet again key electronics company CEOs, CTOs, GMs, VPs and director level speakers. Editors from 16 nations including China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, U. K., US, Nordic will yet again gather in San Francisco to get news, technology developments and corporate strategies from 22 companies. Considering the economic downturn in our industry this is only about 25% fewer companies compared to 2008. Having the trust, confidence and loyalty from companies like Altera, Xilinx, Mentor Graphics, Tensilica makes the hard work worthwhile.  Finding new adopters for this editorial gathering like Microsoft Windows Embedded and start-ups like Global Unichip from Taiwan, Arctic Silicon Devices all the way from Norway, and Netronome from the East Coast proves that smart companies do invest in PR, even in tough economic times. The partnership with Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose adds another program element that will benefit exhibitors and the visiting editors alike.

My team and I will make this 7^th year yet again a memorable, successful event for editors from around the world and executive speakers from leading and young companies – and none of them seems to have the 7-year itch either! Thank you all for your support.

Executive Insights wanted @ Summit09 ....

Most of you know that my full time job is completing the Summit2009. I am wearing many hats, sales, marketing, a little logistics,  It is suprising how many companies have news but struggling with budget constraints. Well - to communicate your news to the best group of electronics media in the world - takes investment. Keep in mind that the editors are doing the heavy lifting, travelling here to hear your story.

I also came up with new marketing ideas and thanks to friends like Paula Jones of Tensilica and Caroline Hayes of EPN Globalpress can show the value. Just now I had a peek of what we are eating and it looks really good. Normally Cecily would do this mouth-watering job but I can happyly report that her baby girl was born yesterday at 12.32 pm. Edith Bendermacher, our previous event manager, is taking over until Cecily returns on March 23. Yes, my friends in Europe - women here are often back in weeks not months.

Why am I writing all this? Because after a Summit update to the attending editors, I got many emails, filled with anticipation. This email from Yang Gao says it very well. I am confident the remaining companies with announcements will find the budget to give the editors the Executive Insights Yang Gao and the others need for their readers.

Dear Irmgard,

I appreciate your efforts, specifically in the current period of the global financial crisis. I believe your excellent work will make this year's Summit a great success for all participants.

 

It is a great pleasure for me to meet you, and I look forward to listen to the Executives Insights at Summit 2009.Regards

Wireless Chipsets - European Editors want you.....

The up and down of the markets, dark industry forecasts and rallying and declining stock market make it very confusing. The Olympics dominating the news and more spot light shines on China than ever.

So while talking to clients about the greatest editor delegation coming to Silicon Valley in October I sensed that Asia is all they care about. Very well - we have a great group of editors coming in December for China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan.

What puzzles me, though, is that European editors want to write about chip set vendors for wireless systems,  mobile devices, home networking, wireless USB, wireless broadband, automotive and components for  industrial electronics. Hesitation to invest in European PR makes me wonder if some companies are missing some great market press opportunities thinking Asia is the only thing.

Asian Press is coming to Silicon Valley in December 2008

When I started my agency in 1986 as Europress Connection, I never anticipated that I would eventually work so closely with Asian Press.

There is no better way to get your executive-level spokespeople in front of international press.
