|
EclipseCon is fast approaching and all indications point to
a very exciting conference. We are expecting a number of member companies
to issue press releases during the week. To help our member companies
increase the exposure of their announcements, we have put together a number of
supporting press initiatives. Schwartz Communications, the Eclipse
Foundation PR Agency, will be assisting with many of these initiatives. If
you have any questions please feel free to contact myself or Schwartz at eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Press Room and Interview Room A press room will be located in the conference hotel.
Companies will be able to leave press kits and press releases in this room for
distribution to the attending press. We will also have a private room
available for companies to arrange interviews with the press. This
room can be reserved on a first come first serve basis but will be limited to 4
– 30 minutes slots per company. A signup sheet for the interview
room will be located in the press room. Eclipse Community Press Release and
