2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES)

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

logo The world’s largest consumer technology trade show, the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, known in the industry as the CES, is being held this week in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center/Las Vegas Hilton and The Venetian. CES is such a large show that at least two venues are necessary, for the show covers more space than 35 (American) football fields. That’s a big space, folks.

The CES is always loaded with fantastic new electronics, all displayed beautifully in trade show booths and kiosks, many of these from Godfrey Group. If you are attending CES with specific products or companies in mind, look above the crowd for overhead banners and hanging headers; those are always an easy way to find something specific in a large area.

General information about the CES may be found on its website.

Hadn’t you best hurry over there?  Lady Gaga, Garfield, Stan Lee, Drew Carey, Guy Kawasaki, Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster!), Bradley Whitford, Tommy Lee, and many other celebrities will be at this year’s CES.

And the EXHIBITS!!! Awesome doesn’t begin to describe them.

Trade Show Displays and Economic Stimulus

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
With the economy taking its downturn, and with places like the Las Vegas Convention Center Authority reporting the cancellation of 340 conventions and trade shows, Event planners and their peers are beginning to look for ways to cut corners on their booth and display costs in the trade show and convention industry. This is especially true for planners or exhibitors that do many shows but are cutting back to only a single show that they do in a year. What do they use as their trade show display?

Some of the exhibitors are turning to renting their exhibit booths and displays. this way they don’t have to worry about paying for a booth or display that they may only use a single time in a year. They don’t have to store it and worry about its upkeep. Many exhibitors are also turning to rental displays as this is a better way to have multiple displays when they have shows at opposite ends of the country at the same time. They don’t have to purchase more than one display or booth.

Look into renting your trade show booth or display? You can save money and reduce the overall cost of your convention budget. In today’s economy every little bit counts. Let Godfrey Group help you.
