WMM 2009 website launched

www.magazinemarketplace.com, the dedicated website for attendees of FIPP’s annual magazine licensing, joint venture and syndication event, Worldwide Magazine Marketplace (WMM), has been launched.

Taking place on 2-3 November 2009 at Jumeriah Beach Hotel in Dubai, WMM is dedicated to publishers wishing to discuss the licensing and syndication of their magazine content across borders.

The newly launched website allows attendees and exhibitors to register and have access to an online diary in order to start making appointments immediately, and to save wasting valuable time at the event.

New to this year’s WMM is Virtual Magazine Marketplace (VMM), which will allow those attending in November to bring WMM into the office or home before the event. VMM will take place on 16-17 September, and will enable attendees to engage in real-time chat, which means that preliminary discussions can be held before even getting on a plane, meaning that you can get straight down to business in Dubai.

For more information on WMM, or how to register as an attendee or exhibitor, contact Claire Jones at claire@fipp.com or call 020 7404 4169.

The exhibitors at WMM have an unparalleled opportunity to showcase their brand or products to the international publishing community. Smaller publishers with less than 35 members of staff can also benefit from a dedicated package.
