Multimedia publishing
The Association maintains an Internet presence through three websites.
The institutional website www.confindustriaceramica.it publishes information, images and videos containing important news for the sector and for stakeholders.
www.ceramica.info provides information on ceramic products and related promotional events for a target audience of consumers and professionals.
• The Product Gallery (www.ceramica.info/en/categoria-cer/products-trends/) is a multimedia gallery of ceramic tiles and ceramic sanitaryware containing photos of both individual products and vignettes. Produced in four language versions, it is updated and expanded twice a year with the addition of more than 100 collections of tiles and around twenty collections of ceramic sanitaryware. A search function allows content to be selected according to a number of criteria, including product characteristics and manufacturer.
• The Projects Gallery (www.ceramica.info/en/categoria-cer/projects/) is a collection of journalistic reports on architecture and interior design projects. It discusses more than 750 projects conducted in Italy and worldwide by over 80 Italian ceramic manufacturers and is illustrated by a wealth of photographs. It also provides the technical specifications of the products used. It is updated twice a year and is produced in Italian and English.
The third website the Association operates through is www.cersaie.it, the official website of the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tiles and Bathroom Furnishings. This site contains information for Italian and foreign visitors, the events calendar and how to register, videos and interviews from the previous year’s conferences and – when the exhibition is in progress – the events held the previous day. The pressroom caters for journalists’ various requirements.
