Do I need to exhibit in IFA in order to participate in ShowStoppers?
No. For the year 2020, participation in IFA is not required.
How does the event work?
ShowStoppers combines a product showcase, hands-on demos, and a relaxed reception into one efficient event. It’s an informal ambiance that includes a buffet and open bars.
Exhibitors arrive 2 to 3 hours prior to the event to set up, and to eat something before the event begins. As journalists arrive, ShowStoppers checks them in to ensure they were invited. As they make their way around the room, during the course of the evening they meet with exhibitors, test products and do what they do best: produce the story.
Are there speaking opportunities?
Yes. ShowStoppers is extending its Virtual Press Conference offerings and bringing it to Berlin allowing you to extend your reach to journalists who choose not to travel to Berlin. Conduct a virtual press conference and then host one on one meetings with journalists. Ask us how you can participate in this offering.
