Great Opportunity to network with publishers from around the world — some of the conversations are already resulting in deals |

Year after year, WMM has proven itself to be an efficient forum to meet new potential partners, rekindle previously targeted contacts and keep in touch with the competition on neutral grounds! While WMM offers many occasions for fruitful chance meetings, its benefits are mainly derived from using its superb electronic agenda |

WMM is the perfect event for meeting face-to-face with publishing professionals from around the world. You truly get months worth of work done in just a few days. I’ve never heard anyone say that WMM wasn’t extremely worthwhile |

We found WMM an extremely useful event, giving us the chance to meet with existing and potential licensees. It was very well organised and brought together a broad range of international publishers which we found particularly pleasing as VNU Business Media’s portfolio of publications covers both b2b and consumer markets. It is an extremely valuable event and we’re particularly pleased with the strong interest in the VNU portfolio which was showcased for the first time |

Loved the diary functionality it was really effective! Also found the ability to update our company information in real time very useful. FIPP staff were very responsive to questions and concerns about exhibiting and I really appreciated their prompt and apt response. Every conversation I participated in, whether scheduled or ad hock was of value as everyone was here for the same reason — to do business |
