More Than Two Dozen Mobile, Wireless Startups & Innovators
to Demo New Products to Journalists, Analysts, Bloggers
AUSTIN, TX., 10 Feb. 2009 — Twice the number of startups, upstarts, industry leaders and innovators will preview all things mobile and wireless for work, home and play to hundreds of journalists, analysts and bloggers at ShowStoppers, the press-only special event in Barcelona, Spain.
ShowStoppers @ Mobile World Congress 2009 is an invitation-only event that takes place the night before the tradefair begins, giving journalists an early start on new product announcements and news — Sunday, 15 February, 5-730 p.m. (1700-1930) at Hotel Majestic, in central Barcelona on Passeig de Gracia.
“This year-to-year growth in a tough economy proves there is a smarter way to use executive time and marketing budgets when you need to meet the press,” said Steve Leon, partner, ShowStoppers.
“Journalists get to see, touch, feel and play with new products at ShowStoppers events,” said Leon. “For exhibiting companies, there’s nothing more productive than conversing one-on-one with a reporter – who’s actually holding your product in her hands – to help generate product coverage and interviews.”
More than two dozen companies are exhibiting, including, among others, Alcatel-Lucent, Emoze, Kingston, Novatel, Smith Micro, titkitag, Vuzix and Zeemote, along with eight wireless innovators based in Ireland.
Dave Graveline’s “Into Tomorrow,” BNETtv and AVING.net will broadcast, stream, podcast and blog live from stages inside ShowStoppers – and record additional coverage for later broadcast.
