Advance planning and preparation are a given, but Hotwire went one step further to activate and deepen awareness:

- The team executed a proactive approach by pre-briefing 70 influential media outlets through seven roundtable discussions held across Europe.
- Hotwire also secured and hosted 32 key media and influencers at the conference.
