Make Some Noise On The Online Floor Plan: Map Your Show Advertising

For the 2010 EXPO, CEDIA is once again proud to partner with Map Your Show to bring the interactive online floor plan to the show.  In 2009, attendees viewed the floor plan an astounding 36,337 times to build their agendas and prepare for EXPO.

The 2010 floor plan is sure to be just as useful to attendees, but what will it offer you as an exhibitor?

• Marketing Options – From active URL and email links, to static pictures to flashy video presentations – you’re in control of your marketing message
• Connections – Access to qualified, opt-in sales leads who have selected your company and your products.  Begin your conversation with buyers months before the show even starts
• Visibility – Your company – Your products – Your services.  All in front of your buyers exactly when they are looking to buy
• Flexibility – Update or change your information as often or as little as you choose.  Announce the launch of a new product,  add special show offers, or just put a fresh look on your message

Official 2010 Floor Plans

EXPO 2010 booth re-selections concluded November 19th and the official 2010 floor plan is now posted online. While finalizing the floor plan, we made a minor change by rotating it 90 degrees. You will notice the entrances are now located along the bottom of the plan instead of the top. All booths remained in the exact same location as chosen during the re-selections. This flip will assist attendees in locating booths much faster once they enter the hall. Click here to see the current floor plan.

If you have any questions about the floor plan or your booth space, please contact Ashley Sorenson.

EXPO 2011 and 2012: Returning to Indianapolis

CEDIA has announced that after one more year in Atlanta in 2010, CEDIA EXPO will move back to Indianapolis, one of its original host locations. CEDIA EXPO will take place September 7-11, 2011 and September 5-9, 2012 in Indianapolis.

We appreciate your candor and valuable feedback.  It’s what makes the association work and allows us to provide you with the services and programs that help your businesses grow daily. CEDIA leadership heard you loud and clear. With the insight and information you provided along with in-depth logistical, economical, and exhibitor considerations, they determined that Indianapolis is the best fit for CEDIA EXPO to grow as well as provide members with an accessible, affordable, and CEDIA-like atmosphere.

Currently, the Indiana Convention Center is going through an expansion that will allow for 250,000+ square feet of exhibit/meeting space in addition to a brand new 1,300 Marriott Place hotel complex located across from the convention center.

We look forward to returning to Indianapolis, the home of CEDIA EXPO from 1999-2001 and 2003-2005.
