“We had an amazing experience at ShowStoppers. Thanks for all your help and your staff on the ground was super.  You may have heard we were named one of the hottest new products of CES and have had amazing press coverage all week.”

Rick Peterson, HzO

“I’m sure you’ve heard this kind of thought from a bunch of folks, but I find ShowStoppers very useful and valuable. Specifically, I had discussions with Blu Homes, Days of Wonder, DYMO, Gear4, Hewlett-Packard, Iomega, Kno, Neat, Roku, Safely, Sococu, and Xi3. I am convinced that I would have missed many of these companies and their interesting products during my walks on the CES show floor.”

John Mulhern III, technology analyst, Mac Edition Radio

“Our company created a consumer electronics subsidiary a few years ago. We don’t have a huge advertising budget, so building a relationship with key media is very important to generate awareness for our products. ShowStoppers has not only helped us do this, they have helped us do it around the world. We couldn’t be happier with the media we have met through ShowStoppers and the ShowStoppers events themselves. They are first class all the way.”

Kevin Oswald, communications director, Kent Displays/Improv Electronics

“I got more videos done at ShowStoppers than at other events, mainly because the crowds at your event were more manageable – found it very difficult to get time to talk with people [at other events] and shoot a video. So kudos to your event – was much happier there.”

Keith Shaw, program director, Network World.

“Thanks for hosting Showstoppers at CES. I know our team found it very valuable and it gave us a chance to evaluate many of the products that we chose for our Best of CES Awards. While our editors had many one-on-one meetings, Showstoppers allowed our entire team to see the devices so we could consider them for awards. Lenovo, Novatel Wireless and HP were among the winners we saw at Showstoppers.”

Xavier Lanier, publisher, Notebooks.com & GottaBeMobile.com.

“We very much appreciate your collective efforts for our inaugural ShowStoppers @ CES event. We were impressed with the event organization, value added benefits, and extensive media participation, not to mention the ease and flow offered by the event location and set up.”

John Luarino, Proposal Software.

“Focus on the product, not the booth. I saw a lot of companies compete to have the most magnificent (i.e., “expensive”) booth. True, a booth can make an impression and build an image, but let’s be honest: many booths seem to be focused more on the grandeur than the product. I’d rather see a great product in an adequate booth than a mediocre product in a great booth. Take the money you would have spent on a fancy booth and give it to your engineers as a bonus instead. At CES, the best booth expenditure per dollar was Showstoppers: tables in a hotel ballroom staffed mostly by company founders. That should be your model.”
