Ten Alps Plc - Events update
Ten Alps Plc ('Ten Alps' or 'the Company') reports growth in its events
operations and their integration with the group's online internet video
activities.
Sales since October 2006 have been strong in both delegate registrations and
sponsorships for the 12 conferences created by Ten Alps for 2007 calendar year.
These annually repeatable events include conferences focussed on topics such as
Integrated Transport, Public Sector Project Management and Urban Regeneration.
Ten Alps considers sales from these first events to confirm potential within the
46,000-strong advertiser base for events growth.
The events development and sales teams are being expanded within Ten Alps'
Manchester office and extra conferences are now being added for the 2007-8
financial year. Events will be based around analysis of niches across 350 trade
titles which Ten Alps already publishes.
In addition events production work commissioned by commercial clients has grown,
with work for BP, Corus, Metro, Dr Marten's, EMI and others delivered since
October 2006.
The Company has also opened a small events unit in Amman, Jordan, aiming at
promising leads in a possibly under-exploited Middle Eastern corporate market,
with costs easily covered within current budgets. Ten Alps already sells
advertising across a number of titles and websites targeting this region, such
as its 'Trading Guide To Near and Middle East' and its 'Gulf Spotlight' product.
Ten Alps sees further potential for growth, visibility and synergy in events.
They exploit existing TV programming and publishing niches, give advertisers
direct client contact, generate online content and advertising opportunities and
as a result open up potential additional revenue streams for Ten Alps.
Meanwhile Ten Alps' conferences, and some run outside the group, are being
filmed for the database of available material on Ten Alps' beta-version Public
TV website.
Data-based clips can be viewed at www.public.tv in the conferences section. Ten
Alps intends to sell sponsorship opportunities around the content, adding
editorial and commercial longevity to the specialised conferences created.
Progress in the group's growing online activities will be separately updated
this month.
