Finalized press kits for NeoCon 2023 will be accepted in digital format ONLY through our virtual NeoCon 2023 Press Kit, in order to streamline the media’s access to exhibitor products and to make it more convenient for both attending editors and those who cannot attend. This will serve as our official online press room and is once again hosted through Box.com. We will be sharing this press kit wide so there is opportunity for exposure to a broader media audience. We realize these materials do not get completed until the weeks and sometimes days leading up to the show, but we can provide you with the unique link ahead of time so each exhibitor can have their own dedicated folder where they can upload their product images, press releases, and video assets as they finalize. Please email emma@novitapr.com to receive a unique link to your exhibitor folder and for directions to upload to Box.com. You may also keep some physical press kits on hand in your booth or showroom during the event. If your company would like to offer attending media a gift in the Press Office, please reach out to the Novità team to coordinate. For pointers on press kits, please see below.

What is a press kit?

A press kit is an information packet conveniently assembled for the media to review and potentially utilize in their digital and/or print coverage.

What goes into a press kit?

• Labeled press release(s)*

• Labeled, high-res images (at least 300 dpi)

• Company fact sheet/brief company history (optional)

• Designer bios (if applicable)

What is a press release?

A press release is a brief announcement, which contains newsworthy material. “News” is the operative word. The press release should outline the new collections/products/innovations that you are launching at NeoCon 2023. A release is written in the style of an article (in the third person). This means that parts of – or the whole – release could be used “as is” in a publication. It concludes with a “boilerplate,” which is a background paragraph on your company. Press releases are usually one to two pages in length. Be sure to include company name, media contact, and NeoCon showroom or booth #.

NeoCon partners with the top media organizations in the industry. Maximize your company’s visibility before, during and after NeoCon with our 2023 media partners.

Also, Metropolis will be organizing showroom crawls to take a group of architects and designers from the Lab around to the Lab Partner showrooms on a guided tour.

As a NeoCon exhibitor you can reach a targeted and highly engaged audience with your sustainability message and initiatives. Become a Lab Partner and you will have the tools to tell your sustainability story and connect directly with the A&D community, providing them with the solutions they seek.

Please contact your Metropolis representative or Tina Brennan, VP Marketing, at tbrennan@sandowdesign.com or 646-488-6712 for more information on this opportunity.
