Welcome

Welcome to this month's edition of Analysts Matter, produced by CustomerClix. The newsletter is circulated to people worldwide with an interest in Analyst Relations.

Focus on... Mobile World Congress

Mobile World Congress, held in Barcelona, Spain each year is a show case of all that is cool and leading edge in the telecoms' world. This year, MWC will be held from Monday 27th February to Thursday 1st March 2012. 

As usual, there is an impressive array of keynote speaker and hundreds of innovative exhibitors on display. 

Every year, this show attracts thousands of people who are there to shop, do deals, lap up information, discuss partnering opportunities. And, of course, chat with the industry analyst community there.

So the question is: Do you want to meet analysts when at MWC, to raise awareness of your company's activities? If the answer to this question is 'yes', then do get in touch. 

Whilst analysts are under much time pressure, especially when attending shows such as MWC, trying to chat with them face to face when in Barcelona will help to forge long lasting relationships that can only be of help to you and your business. 

So, should you plan to attend MWC as an exhibitor or a visitor and need assistance securing the time of the industry analyst community when there, do get in touch. We have long-lasting relations with many, many analysts worldwide. And we know who is attending MWC. Can you afford to ignore this cracking opportunity?
