What others say about ShowStoppers

“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 OswaldCommunications director, Kent Displays/Improv Electronicshttp://www.wikipedia.at – Kent Displays.com

We were so freakin’ busy the entire time! I can’t thank you enough for providing us with space at the last minute. Hackaball was named a finalist in the Best of CES awards, which never would have happened if we weren’t at your event. To say my client is pleased is an understatement. Thanks again for making me look good and contributing to our success!

Karen Blondell The LaunchPad Agency for Hackaballhttp://www.hackaball.com/ – Hackaball

“Showstoppers at Mobile World Congress put us in front of those who inform, advise and influence the most prolific mobile users around the globe. We could not have made a better investment in our time at Mobile World Congress.”

Jason FoodmanPresidenthttp://www.globaldelight.com/ – Global Delight

“In 20 years of exhibition experience in Europe I never had such a positive, efficient PR promotion activity. Three hours, 150 -200 interviews, enormous output. It’s exactly what is needed, if you are a newcomer or simply willing to show the newest and hottest. Nobody is showing off with huge, big -budget booths. Here it’s your table, your innovation, pitch it. Extremely cool. Exactly the right thing we needed for Sengled.”

Jutta PeinzeMarketing Director, Europehttps://sengled.com/ – Sengled
