  1. Press conference How CARNet does it? Nela Marasović, PR executive Zoran Birimiša, International Relations TERENA PR Task Force meeting, Lyngby 16/03/2005

  2. Press conference... • One of the most important communication tool in relationship with medias • Combining it with other tools like press release, events etc, you can build strong and permanent relation with media • Stabile media relations are important because they create public opinion and in that way opinion about our organization

  3. Press conferences @ CARNet • Aspects that we pay attention to: • Place, • Time, • Concept + Content, • Other little but important things

  4. Press conferences - Time • How often? • 3-5 times a year (to keep attention) • More only for hot topic (alternative = briefing) • Day in the week • Avoid Mon (edit.meetings) and Fri (end week) • Try to track media release days • Time of the day • 10pm (before meetings) - 13pm (issue closing)

  5. Press conferences - Place • Venue corresponding with the topic • PoP establishing => “server room” (visual effect) • Dislocation (If news occurs at another spot) • Use local media and lack of hot news • Avoid lazyness  and move to the actual venue • Accessibility • Journalists have tight schedule / not far venues

  6. Press conferences – Concept 1/2 • Focused issues • 1 main topic, possibly 2 but need relation • Speakers • 3 speakers preferably, avoiding “balast pax” • 5 minutes each • Including “celebrities” or not? • only in calm periods of their core activity

  7. Press conferences – Concept 2/2 • Way of presentation • Avoid (all) long presentations => 15 slides • Duration • Not more than 20 minutes of 1-way communication • 10 – 15 minutes for questions • Interaction • Coordination • Required because of time limitation • Hiring a professional moderator or name an associate

  8. Press conferences – Press materials • Invitation by e-mail and fax (+ follow up) • Press kit (in a corporate map) • Official Press release (with contact data) • Ppt handouts • Data about the organization (only for freshmens) • Promotional materials (those related to the topic) • Press list (to keep track of attendance)

  9. Press conferences – Scene setting • Visual elements • standing banners, logo • not too big room (stunts ) • Technical support • microphones, projector (+VC facilities) • Other details • Name tags for speakers • Enough chairs, tables • Photographer (or one-man-band) • Quiet corner/room for taking statements • Coffees (and catering if occasion requires)
