Feedback from the Globalpress Community

What Clients Think:

“Our participation in the Globalpress Electronics Summit has paid off for Xilinx in myriad ways over the past four years. A combination of keynote talks, panel discussions, press conferences and special events has created a fabulous forum for building even stronger bonds with the “who’s who” of the international editorial community, generating hundreds of articles. It’s become an essential component of our annual PR plan and complements our own global PR outreach and programs. Plus, it’s a great time saver for Xilinx executives – they can spend a day or two in a single location, rather than weeks traveling the world.”
Lisa Washington, Director, Worldwide Communications
Xilinx, Inc.

"Globalpress Summit events are a great global public relations concept. We have found that Globalpress attracts a good turnout of key journalists knowledgeable about our industry and interested in story ideas and personal contact with our company leaders. The opportunity to follow group presentations with one-on-one media interviews is very valuable, especially with respect to the Asian press."

"Globalpress Connection offers services to technology companies which are second-to-none in the global PR industry.  The return on investment for participation in Globalpress Connection events is outstanding.  The economics of bringing together editors from around the world to one location, speak for themselves.  The professional events which Irmgard and her team put together add another layer of value to the Globalpress offering.  Tundra has taken advantage of this unique opportunity and realized true, measurable results each and every time."

The Analyst's View:

“I thought that the Globalpress Electronics Summit was not only an excellent event that was well-planned and well executed, but it was informative, enjoyable and stimulating, as well. The conference sessions featured top tier executives from the major companies in the Electronics Technology markets, and the interaction between the audience and the speakers lead to some challenging questions being answered.”
Gerry Kaufhold, Principal Analyst, Convergence
In-Stat, Division of Reed Business

“Several things impressed me about the Globalpress Summit. The turnout was about 80% editors and 20% industry people, and it’s usually the opposite situation at the events I attend. Media plays an important role in the electronics industry, where rapid technology advances, converging global markets, time-to-market pressures and the push to reduce costs leave electronics companies juggling more challenges than ever. The Globalpress Summit brings together a truly international press corps with Asia and Europe well-represented—a great value to Silicon Valley companies competing worldwide.”

Editorial Opinions:

As we know, Silicon Valley is the leading position of semiconductor industry worldwide. Many technologies innovation, creative ideas and outstanding performance came from Silicon Valley. It is very important for us to observe and report the development of the related companies closely in Silicon Valley, so it is valuable to attend Globalpress tours and Summit. Especially Globalpress Connection always arranges the most popular, successful or innovative executives in the events, that will be very helpful for us to write many great stories for our readers.
Steffi Chien, Micro Electronics Magazine/Communication Components Magazine

Spending a week of the office can be an inconvenience sometimes, but I make an exception for Globalpress Summits and tours. I find them a great use of my time.  In a few days, I am guaranteed to come away with plenty of news stories, contacts and discover new companies that would not normally spread their message outside ‘the Valley’. The Globalpress week is hard work but always enjoyable. It has always been very rewarding with plenty of editorial content and invaluable opportunities to meet key executives to hear their news, ask their views and to develop story ideas. It is often the first place that applications or trends are identified which leads to feature articles in the magazine. Journalism is all about contacts, and at Globalpress there is no shortage of them! I have been able to follow up feature ideas months later using contacts made in that week. This resource is invaluable to an editor.  I always come away with lots of new contacts as well as cementing established ones at a mix of leading and emerging companies. Above all, the week away from the office is enlightening; the sessions allow time for questions and some companies arrange informal opportunities to mix for further social and to exchange views. I always return with plenty of material and new perspectives on the industry.
Caroline Hayes, Chief Editor, EPN, UK

It was such a great learning experience for me. It gave me the opportunity to meet the movers and shakers, fueling further the passion I have for the industry I am in. A testament to this is the several stories I have already filed. Moreover, we have such warm hostesses that made our stay all the more delightful! Warmest regards from the Philippines!"

"I was lucky to be part of the first Globalpress press delegation geared to chip-set exhibitors at CES2007. The unique short range wireless communication technology provided by the companies like WiQuest, Artimi and the technologies used for digital home from Marvell, Pulse-Link, QPixel, really impressed me a lot. QuickLogic will have much  potential in the consumer electronic industry."

"For more than 5 years, Globalpress has provided me with opportunities to get the current U.S. perspective on relevant technology issues, and to meet and get to know senior-level managers of leading Silicon Valley companies, people I can now email or call when combing for news or working on a time-sensitive feature story."
N.S. Manjunath, Special Correspondent, Hong Kong

"Globalpress Summit events will be on my calendar again next year because they help me stay informed about the U.S. electronics and wireless technology sectors and allow me to make many connections with top officials from Silicon Valley high tech companies. Their conference program, format and logistics are very good and their followup surveys and responsiveness to editor feedback are remarkable."
Amir Ben Artzi, Editor Electronica, WaveTech, Israel
