Gutenberg's meaning for me:
As the inventor of letter printing, Gutenberg was an outstanding mastermind of his time: the invention of printing with movable metal letters revolutionized the reproduction of texts. The new technology, which made it possible for the first time to produce books with identical text by hand, quickly spread throughout Europe and later throughout the world. It has also created the basis for our modern digital world, not least the Internet.

My goals:
To raise the notoriety of the Gutenberg Society and to support the Gutenberg Museum.

My target audience:
I would like to win new members as supporters of the Gutenberg-Gesellschaft.

Why IGS:
It provides information on important events and exhibitions and enables international scientific exchange.
