COLOGNE
CONNECTING THE GLOBAL DIGITAL ECONOMY!
Networking at eye level
Legendary prelude events during the run-up to
dmexco 2015: Night Talks in Germany’s media capitals!
dmexco is the central platform that visibly presents the
“digiconomy” - and also highlights all the trends
associated with it.
In line with the motto “Connecting the Global Digital
Economy,” Night Talks will be taking place for the sixth time
in succession. These talks offer the digital industry an
opportunity prior to dmexco to address the latest industry
themes and to meet with relevant brands.
Each Night Talk is staged exclusively in cooperation with a
specific sponsor who is responsible for co-organizing the
evening in terms of content. The dmexco Night Talks have
established themselves as Germany’s leading networking
events for the key players of our media and marketing
industry.

EXPECTATIONS REGARDING THE SPONSOR:
Content counts – but so does a professional, entertaining presentation!
Benefit from the image transfer with dmecxo!
Keyword “infotainment”: Are there
different viewpoints on the
theme? Can an animated, perhaps
even heated, discussion develop?
Are you able to actively involve
the audience?
02
Prepare your desired theme and the
focus of its content well and check
that it is appropriate for the stage.
01
Avoid retrospectives in the sense of
“20 years ago there was no
Internet...” The visitors at the Night
Talks are experienced industry
experts. Dare to give your specific
outlook for the future and put
forward some solutions!
04
The visitors associate dmexco and the
Night Talks with genuine up-to-date
news. That’s why you should...
Present better arguments and ensure
that you and the panel participants
have a really controversial exchange!
To this end, recommend “Prophets”
who you know have a different
opinion about the theme than you or
your company do.
03
Corroborate your theses with up-to-date
figures and surveys. But keep it brief, and
don’t use too many figures.
Adhere to the agreed timeframes,
especially for your Elevator Speech! Short
and to the point always goes down well…
