As we have seen, the maximum number of attendees to a press conference or meetings will depend largely on the market sector, but there are significant differences depending on in which country it will take place. For example, the number of media attending a presswhich country it will take place. For example, the number of media attending a press conference in the technology industry is around 20 in Southern and Eastern Europe while in Northern and Central will be less than 10. In the consumer goods industry we can find as much as 40 media in Southern Europe and as less as 5 in Northern Europe.
