Media Center Equipment

Computer workstations will be available, as will wire drops for laptop plug-ins and wireless internet service. The Media Center will also be fully equipped with printers, fax, copier and telephones for your convenience.

Press Kits

As part of our efforts to be "green," we are once again encouraging exhibitors and editors to make full use of the Virtual Media Center by posting and accessing press releases and photos. NO paper, cd/dvd or memory stick press kits will be accepted in the Media Center. We will maintain a list of exhibitors who have press kits available in their booths. And new for IMTS 2012 we will offer a service in the Media Center where staff will download materials for the media and either print them or save them to a memory stick.

Media Briefing Room

Exhibitors will have the option to use the Media Briefing Room in the Media Center to conduct their press conferences. A press conference schedule will be updated regularly and will be posted in the Media Center at IMTS.


Refreshments

A complimentary lunch will be served each day from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.; coffee, soft drinks and water will be available throughout the day.

Media Center Management

Mary Uhrina will be on-site overseeing the Media Center operations throughout the show. If you have questions or concerns before, during, or after the show, please contact Mary in the Media Center.
