Press pack displays
Companies can arrange for press packs to be displayed within the ERS press centre. The content of press packs must be approved by ERS and abide by the regulations for industry press conferences and materials. If approved, this entitles companies to:
- Space(s) on the dedicated racks to display C4 folders containing the approved press materials.
- A 25 x 25 cm panel with the company logo, which can be prepared by ERS if the logo is provided.
- Limited storage within the press centre for the documentation that will be displayed.
Press packs can include just one press release per pack in addition to relevant backgrounder documents.
The fees for one press pack display are EUR 500, however, packs can be displayed in the press centre for free if companies are also arranging an onsite press conference.
Press conferences
Companies can arrange press conferences to take place in the on-site press conference room to support their ERS congress press activities. Booking an onsite press conference entitles companies to:

- Access to equipment, including: one lectern with a fixed microphone; top table and chairs on podium with two fixed microphones; projector with screen; roving microphone for questions from the audience; seating arrangement in classroom style; computer to run presentations; and one technician. The technician will be at the company’s service for the duration of the press conference. They will oversee lighting, audio and projection facilities.
