New York City Gears Up For Internet Week

New York City is gearing up for the third annual Internet Week New York, which will will host over 150 events between June 7-14 at the festival’s first-ever headquarters at Chelsea’s Metropolitan Pavilion and at dozens of locations throughout the City.

Reflecting both the rise of New York City as a new tech capital and the festival’s emergence as a top annual gathering for Internet leaders, the diverse slate of programming includes everything from panels, conferences, and educational events to art installations, live performances and parties. To build buzz for the festival, PKPR secured preview stories in a wide range of media including the Wall Street Journal (”Internet Week New York kicks of seven days of Web geekery”), New York Times (”Tech festivals land”) CNN (”The next Silicon Valley? It may be New York”), NBC New York (”Internet Week to be bigger and better”), Metro (”The tech sector powers up”), Hollywood Reporter, Village Voice, ZDNet, PCMag, and Mediabistro.

Fortune: ‘Net Takes Manhattan

We couldn’t have written a better headline for Fortune’s wrap-up piece on the Internet Week New York 2009.

PKPR once again handled publicity for the weeklong festival celebrating New York’s Internet industry. An estimated 15,000 people, including such industry movers and shakers as Al Gore, Barry Diller, Rupert Murdoch, Martha Stewart, and Twitter co-founders Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone, attended over 110 conferences, panels, exhibits, screenings, and networking events hosted by the likes of YouTube, Microsoft, Digg, Time Warner, Mediabistro, Digitas, and College Humor.  Highlights ranged from NY Tech Meetup Showcase to the first-ever Webutant Ball.

More than 100 reporters and bloggers were credentialed to cover Internet Week. Coverage included Wall Street Journal, CNN.com, New York Post, New York Observer, All Things D, Crain’s New York Business, CNET, and Huffington Post.

Mayor Bloomberg Kicks off Internet Week

PKPR helped kick-off the first-ever Internet Week New York with a blast of coverage this week including a full-page Daily News story on how the Internet has changed New York, New York Post, Metro, Time Out New York, Hollywood Reporter, and CNET. In all, PKPR has credentialed more than 70 media outlets and bloggers to cover the more than 80 events happening throughout the week.

Our favorite event: the official launch at Gracie Mansion where Mayor Bloomberg welcomed the City’s digital media leaders and pondered whether his buddies on Facebook were true friends. The New York Times chimes in here. And check out this great New York 1 segment, which also features PKPR client and Internet Week event partner Arts Engine.
