A Message From Dan Cole

It’s not called The “International” CES for nothing!
by Dan Cole

Continued from first page.

As a 2009 International CES exhibitor, show participation offers an unparalleled opportunity to make contacts, establish partnerships and extend your brand internationally. How can you take advantage of these opportunities? Here are just a few ways:

· The CEA Communications department works closely with press outlets from every corner of the world to evangelize the companies and technologies that make CES great. Contact them today to secure a press conference slot and utilize the power of the press to generate buzz around your product or technology.

· Located in the Las Vegas Hilton and Sands hotels, CES’ International Gateway is one place where exhibitor groups from all over the world call home. Delegations from countries like China, Singapore, Denmark and Australia want to do business with you and the Central location of the Gateway is only a short walk or shuttle bus ride away.

· Like any other attendee group, international attendees require targeted outreach and promotion from exhibitors interested in doing business with them. CES promotional and sponsorship opportunities help you pinpoint them. Whether through a press room or International reception sponsorship, CES promotional opportunities can help extend your brand in front of key CE decision-makers from across the globe. Contact one of CES’ sponsorship and promotional opportunities managers today to discover how they can help.

· Have you ever wanted to gather all of CES international press and attendees in one place and pitch your organization’s product or technology? Now, you can do it virtually through CES SmartBooth, the online search engine for the consumer electronics industry. Through targeted two-way search and matching technologies, CES SmartBooth helps shrink our 130,000+ attendees into the 10’s, 100’s or thousands most important to you – even internationally. Contact a CES Business Development representative for more information.

Make a splash of global proportions at the 2009 International CES. We thank you for your participation and look forward to collaborating to craft a successful CES for your organization.
