Press Conference Efficiency

- It saves time compared to handling many individual interviews and calls.
Choose Your Speakers Wisely
- Choose a spokesperson with seniority and confidence to speak rather than multiple experts.
- Include a press officer or moderator to manage questions and keep the event orderly.
Keep Venue Simple and Practical
- Use a simple room with good lighting and enough space rather than a fancy venue.
- Focus on providing space for reporters and crews; no need for extras like coffee or sandwiches.
