Frequently Asked Questions

ShowStoppers is the premier media showcase event hosting receptions numerous times during the course of the year.

The ShowStoppers reception is a 3 or 4 hour – turnkey table top showcase where companies set up their products for demonstration.  We invite qualified journalists, industry leaders into the room. They work their way from table to table, discussing products, conducting interviews – all fueled by great food and drink.

We typically invite exhibiting companies to arrive 2 to 3 hours prior to the events starting time in order to prepare their space and relax before the event begins.   We post specific arrival /departure times with each event.

As part of your participation, ShowStoppers will produce a sign with your logo and or company name on it.  The sign will be placed on a pole adjacent to your table space.

Dimensions:  24″ x 12″
