3 Companies Earn “Best” Honors at EXHIBITOR SHOW 2005

3/23/2005 - ROCHESTER, MN—Three companies earned “Best” honors at EXHIBITOR SHOW 2005, held March 13-17, 2005 at The Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas. Earning Best of Show recognition for their exhibit displays were MC² and Group Imaging. For the second year in a row, Exhibitgroup/Giltspur won the Best Booth Staff title.

A record number of 49 products were entered in the New Product Showcase. Five companies earned Buyers Choice Awards for their new products. They were: Edge Exhibits, Fairfield Displays and Lighting, Interlock, Lead Wizard and Seattle Software.

Best of Show
The Best of Show awards were given to exhibitors in two categories, one for 200 sq. ft. and smaller and another for more than 200 sq. ft.

MC² won in the large exhibit category. The judges liked the way the exhibit accomplished the company’s message while at the same time attracting attention for exhibit hall visitors.

In the small exhibit category, judges applauded the eye-catching layout of Group Imaging’s exhibit and the way it “clearly portrayed the product offerings.”

Best Booth Staff
Judges liked the high energy of the Exhibitgroup/Giltspur booth staff. “It was obvious they were having fun and that were very friendly,” said one judge. “At the same time, they knew how to pull people in and how to sell their product.”

Buyers Choice Awards.
Edge Exhibits earned its Buyers Choice Award for its ShowCase Tabletop Product Display, a portable display system that the judges felt was perfect for the small exhibitor, but also capable of being a key showcase element in larger displays.

Fairfield Displays and Lighting received an award for its LCD Digital Display System. Measuring only 53mm (2.1”) in depth, the display can tell a company’s story in almost limitless locations from the center of a busy exhibit to a quiet corner, depending on need.

Interlock was selected for its Elements kiosk display system. The system allows exhibitors to set up freestanding displays in an exhibit that can be completely customized for electronic messaging, product displays, indentity communication and graphics. Lead Wizard got its Buyers Choice Award for its Lead Wizard Pro lead capture system. Captured leads from bar codes and mag stripes can have qualifiers assigned to them, notes added and then imported into Excel, ACT Goldmine and other leading software programs.

Seattle Software won for its ShowGo Online, a Web version of its exhibit management software. It provides multiple users easy access along with the tools to individually manage schedule details, budgeting, reporting and many other elements of the exhibiting process.

The Best of Show, Best Booth Staff and Buyers Choice programs are annual events at EXHIBITOR SHOWS. The next EXHIBITOR SHOW will be held from March 5-9, 2006 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas.
