Alphen aan den Rijn (October 12, 2009) - Wolters Kluwer, a market-leading global information services and publishing company focused on professionals, announced today that Nancy McKinstry, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, will take part in an exclusive CEO meeting organized by the Chinese General Administration of Press and Publishing (GAPP) on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, in Frankfurt, Germany. Furthermore, in view of celebrating China as guest of honor at the 2009 Frankfurt Book Fair, Wolters Kluwer has collaborated with the China Central Academy of Fine Arts on a special design project, which will be launched at the opening of the Fair on Wednesday, October 14, 2009.

At the GAPP meeting, Nancy McKinstry will be among a select group of CEOs within the worldwide information and media industry that have been invited by GAPP to exchange expertise and knowledge about global developments and dynamics in the industry. This meeting is organized by GAPP as part of the ceremony to welcome China as Guest of Honor at the 2009 Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's largest information industry trade fair. Nancy McKinstry will address Wolters Kluwer's commitment to continuing to invest in strengthening relations with China and be a key partner to customers in the Chinese tax, accounting, legal, and healthcare markets. Wolters Kluwer has served professional customers in mainland China and Hong Kong for over two decades.

To celebrate China as guest of honor at this year's Fair, Wolters Kluwer has collaborated with young and upcoming Chinese art students of the Beijing-based Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) on a special design project. The artwork created by the students is incorporated in the design of the Wolters Kluwer's stand, located in Hall 4.2, P401, which represents the combination of customer partnerships, brand quality, and a deep understanding of cultural richness on a global scale. Part of this project is the publication 'Create' that Wolters Kluwer will issue at the opening of the event.

On Wednesday, October 14, Wolters Kluwer will officially open its participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair at 9:00 am on its stand with the launch of the latest, innovative products from Wolters Kluwer China.
