Event Format
The DistriPress Congress has a strong history of connecting its members in the Business Meeting Hall as well as during social events and informal gatherings over 4 days.
For over 66 years, the annual DistriPress Congress has brought together businesses from across the globe who are engaged in the publishing, production, marketing, distribution and sales of newspapers and magazines. Our objective is the sharing of experiences, and business development through networking.
- Registration/Meet and Greet – an opportunity for delegates to register on Sunday afternoon, collect their badges and catch up over a glass of wine
- The DistriPress Forum kicks off event proceedings on Monday morning with a half-day agenda during which delegates hear from speakers and panels about industry developments and global themes impacting members
- Business Meeting Hall and Expo: the central meeting hall houses the Expo stands and the Business Meetings’ tables. The Hall also features a pop-up café and newsstand showcasing news and magazines. Delegates meet clients and service providers from around the world in pre-arranged time slots, during which they discuss their mutual business and explore new opportunities.The Expo runs alongside the Business Meetings. Member and non-member companies are encouraged to showcase their products and services to attendees, the stands form an integral part of the Meeting Hall.
