Press & Media Exposure at MAX

Exhibiting at the Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX) is not only an opportunity to connect with attendees—it’s also a powerful platform to gain media coverage and industry visibility. MAX attracts editors, analysts, bloggers, and journalists from leading trade publications across the manufacturing sector.

BNP Media has partnered with Riemer Communications to help exhibitors amplify their message through strategic press engagement before and during the event.

Ways to Gain Press Coverage at MAX:

• Post Your Press Releases on the MAX Website: Exhibitors are invited to submit press releases to be featured in the Industry News Submission section of the MAX website at no charge. This is the central hub we direct all registered media to for the latest exhibitor announcements. Submit releases about product launches, company news, or MAX-related updates to get eyes on your brand before the show even begins.
• Share News with Registered Press: Reporters and editors from publications like ASSEMBLY, Quality, Adhesives & Sealants Industry, ISHN, Paint & Coatings Industry, Packaging Strategies, and other top industry outlets will be attending MAX. After March 1, exhibitors may request a list of pre-registered press by contacting Amy Riemer – amy@theassemblyshow.com. You’re encouraged to reach out with your press materials and invite media to your booth for interviews, product demos, or launch announcements.
• Drop Off Press Kits in the On-Site Press Room: Make your company’s news easily accessible by providing up to 25 printed press kits in the MAX Press Room. These kits are for working members of the media and should include concise product information, executive bios, contact details, and your booth number.
  • Tip: Keep extra copies in your booth for media stopping by!
• The Press Room is also available for scheduled interviews or meetings with the media.
