IPW Media Marketplace and IPW Online Press Room

What is it?

This all-day event is the best way for U.S. suppliers to connect with media and to pitch story ideas on-site. The Brand USA Media Marketplace floor will be arranged alphabetically by state and will include sections for national companies and the federal government.

How Do I Register My Media Marketplace Representative?

Media Marketplace package purchasers may assign up to two people to staff the Media Marketplace and manage separate appointment schedules.

There are 3 options for staffing the table:

• Purchase the Media Marketplace PR Delegate badge(s) if you choose to bring in a PR rep(s) just to work the Media Marketplace. This badge does not grant access to the tradeshow floor.
• Assign one (or two) of your registered booth delegates to staff the table. (Once notified, IPW staff will link the delegate to the Media Marketplace and add their appointment schedule(s).)
• Combine one registered booth delegate and one Media Marketplace PR delegate to staff your table and take appointments.

The first Media Marketplace PR Delegate Registration is complimentary; if you need to purchase a second one-day badge, the following fee applies: $600 (Members)/$650 (Non-Members).

NOTE: If you plan to assign one of your booth delegates to staff the Media Marketplace table, do not also purchase a Media Marketplace PR Delegate registration for that person. (Remember: At least one booth delegate must remain in the booth to take appointments.)

How Does it Work?

The Brand USA Media Marketplace offers up to 20 appointments each lasting 10 minutes with a five-minute cross time. Appointments are pre-scheduled during the appointment requesting session. All Media Marketplace delegates (international and domestic media and PR delegates from U.S. supplier companies that purchased the Media Marketplace package) will be notified when this option is open.
