Congratulations to the Distribution Virtual Tech Fair Show Prize Winners
The Brown Smith Wallace Consulting Group would like to congratulate all of our show prize winners for attending the Distribution Virtual Tech Fair on April 30 and May 1, 2008. Tom Noonan from AP Wagner received an Apple ipod Touch, David Hays from Teche Electric received a Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS and Don Griffith from Denney Electric Supply received a Sony Playstation 3.
All three winners first heard about the Virtual Tech Fair through an email sent by the Consulting Group’s Virtual Tech Fair Guy. David Hays said, “I was intrigued by the thought of participating in an online virtual event.” Don Griffith explained, “It was easy to get my manager to agree for me to go to this event since there were no costs involved.” Tom Noonan said, “When I saw this event I was excited because it allowed me to get some specific information about several vendors and their products without having to leave my desk. I was hoping to gain a better understanding of the software offerings available and to gain a better insight into the industry.”
Not only did attendees enjoy learning about several vendors in one place but they were also able to continue their education on business. Tom Noonan stated, “The keynote presentations were especially interesting and gave me some helpful ideas on how to get the most out of people.”
Even if attendees did not have the time to attend the event the two days it was broadcast live, they still have the opportunity to view the booths and presentations when it is archived. David Hays explained, “I was unable to plan for the event and if I’d had more time I might have attended more presentations but I may yet attend an archived presentation.”
All of the attendees reported that they were looking forward to the next event like this. Don Griffith responded, “We are not currently looking to change our software provider but at some point we will probably have to and I want to know what is available. That is why attending another event like this is so important to me.” David Hays said, “I would attend this event again because I enjoyed navigating the rich websites and the live aspect made the event more interesting.” If you would like to learn more and to sign up to participate like these attendees did then visit www.virtualtechfair.com.

Distribution Virtual Tech Fair, Hosted by the Brown Smith Wallace Consulting Group
Does your technology system have trouble keeping up with your business? Knowing where you were yesterday does not help with the speed of business today. You need business intelligence about your operations, suppliers and customers at your finger tips. No matter how many work-arounds you develop or how many repairs to your system you make, your competitors are already passing you by. So in essence you are working for your system instead of your system working for you. Having the right system in place, allows you to spend more of your time making great decisions.
While you may have a hunch that you are spending more than you should to support customer’s questions and compete for their business, it may be hard to say at what point the cost of maintenance and upgrades would exceed the cost of a new system. How do you compare budgeted maintenance costs against the unknown costs of a new development? Fortunately, there is an industry-full of expertise that works through the fix-or-buy issue.
You have committed to moving forward and selecting a new system. So, which system should you choose? And how will you decide? Have you ever started searching for a product but did not know where to begin or who to contact? The Distribution Virtual Tech Fair can ease your pain by making it easy to research software and technology solutions online. This event gathers the industry leaders, the up-and-comers, the niche players in one place to answer your questions. Get access to the experts, virtually, and find out how others in your shoes have quantified the risks and benefits of migrating to a new system.
For two days only, April 30 and May 1, 2008 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Central Standard Time, attendees can meet with leading technology companies and industry experts from the comfort of their office -- live, online, interactive and 100 percent free. This complimentary, event takes the most successful elements of a live trade show and translates them into the virtual world of the Internet. Attendees can enjoy booths filled with Brochures, Fact Sheets, Literature, Whitepapers, On-Demand Presentations, Podcasts and Product Demos. Attendees can select content of interest, view it immediately or upload to their virtual briefcase so they can view it at their convenience.
Communicating and networking at the show is easy. Exhibitors and attendees can email, chat through IM, blog and exchange vCards which can be downloaded directly into Outlook. You can also start a discussion with others in the Show’s Lounge.
During the show, attendees can earn points for great prizes just by participating. The Virtual Auditorium includes educational presentations designed to provide proactive, industry-leading solutions and advice from industry consultants, IT managers, application experts and vendors.
