• Press conferences are events where information is disseminated and where the media can ask questions.

  • These events are held in response to positive and negative news, to launch products, or to inform the media and the public of any other information about the company.
  • Most press conferences are announced in a press release, which is a well-written written statement describing the nature of the conference.
  • Press conferences are usually held by the company’s executive management, a press officer or a public relations officer.
  • Lesser known companies can hold press conferences to increase brand awareness, while established companies can share the news in the most positive light and raise their status.
