What kind of on-site support does SPI provide members of the press?
The NPE2009 Press Room will be located in Room N427 on Level 4 of the South Building of McCormick Place, open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday of show week, and accessible without a press pass. Bob Martino and a team of SPI communications professionals will be on hand to serve as resources for the press. The Press Room will provide a convenient, practical, and comfortable base of operations while covering the show and is exclusively for use by the press. Even larger than at past NPEs, the NPE2009 Press Room will provide a full display of exhibitor press kits, news and information from SPI, daily selections of high-resolution show photography, work tables, desktop computers, printers, a fax, telephones, and broadband Internet access, including ethernet connections for laptops. In addition to these work-related resources, the NPE2009 Press Room will include a lounge area for relaxing, socializing, and enjoying refreshments. Buffet breakfasts and lunches will be available eve
