Now in its 14th year, Showstoppers has done this longer, better and
more affordably then anyone else in the industry.
ShowStoppers is the only technology showcase that:
Has hosted the PC World awards for five consecutive years.
Partners
with PR Newswire, the Wi-Fi Alliance, Austin Wireless Alliance, Austin
Chamber of Commerce, and others.
Co-located with PC Magazine for the Technical Excellence Awards.

Wireless 2006.

Our press-only, after-hours special
events encourage face-to-face, one-to-one conversations that build
relationships and generate coverage. We create a relaxed, efficient,
productive, focused alternative to the distractions of the convention
floor.
There's no fancy booth to ship. Just bring your team. We set up the
room for the event. We provide the linen-draped table to demo your products,
full-color signage, power, broadband connection (optional), pre- and
post-event press lists. We include your press materials in the press
kit that is given to every reporter who attends. We provide the fuel
-- gourmet food and open bars.
All of which frees you to focus on the most important job of the evening – shaking
hands with the reporters and analysts looking for breaking news and compelling
stories to cover.
