Mingle reports in Russian interior design magazines, items in The New York Times and Le Figaro, page upon page in design journals, dailies and other trade press, and mentions on TV news programmes. No fewer than 250 journalists, from more than 26 countries, and from every kind of medium, covered FutureDesignDays 2005.

We often forget that communictation is more about listening than it is about talking.

Own coverage and documentation

Right from the start, FutureDesignDays has worked actively to bring the event, and the importance of covering the design field, to the attention of the media. Our PR agencies and consultants, help us to keep the media supplied with information updates and material throughout the year. We set up a fully equipped press centre at the event itself. In addition, FutureDesignDays also has its own photographers who continually publish pictures on the net for free publication, writers who report on everything that goes on, and a small film team that documents all the doings and happenings throughout the three-day festival.

Of the moment, throughout the year

FutureDesignDays is an ongoing process and so much more than just a high-profile three-day event in November. People write about it throughout the year. The organisers publish a book on the festival. And there is a contin-ual flow of news and information that is reviewed and commented on in the press. FutureDesignDays is also happy to work with its partners’ PR people in forming opinion, distributing information and spreading the message in the optimum way.

If you work in these fields, you must think this is fantastic. Two full days with the EXPO, the Conference and the parties. It’s like a big branch festival.
