Interfax-Ukraine News Agency offers to host press conferences at its press centre.

At the disposal of press conference participants and the mass media is a 50-seat hall, suitable both for both newspaper and TV journalists.

The press center is equipped with microphones, wireless microphones, a plasma display panel, professional lighting and sound equipment, air conditioning, and wireless access to the Internet or local corporate network using Wi-Fi technology.

The display allows the immediate screening of advertising information, video clips and presentations. Press conference participants are provided with digital audio records of the event.

Interfax-Ukraine organizes press conferences "on site" so that leading newsmakers can discuss today's most burning problems and issues. Holding press conferences at the agency draws the target audience's attention to important opinions, events, and campaigns.

Reports from the press conference hall are covered in Interfax-Ukraine news issues and posted on the agency's Internet site www.interfax.com.ua. The agency also posts announcements of all events held at the press center.

Interfax-Ukraine's Director General Oleksandr Martynenko says he hopes the new press center will become a popular place for communication between journalists, politicians and businessmen. "We're ready to do our best to make the press conferences in our hall as effective as possible for all participants," he said.

Applications for hosting press conferences are accepted by phone (044) 270-74-65, 8-050-385-80-88 or by e-mail: zgarda@interfax.kiev.ua (Marina Zgarda).
