Lunch@ Events – Trade Show Press and Innovator Events

Connected Traveler Technology Showcase

Our newest event will take place tomorrow in San Francisco.

The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase, a media-only showcase of the latest travel tech products, apps and services will feature demonstrations by developers of tech-savvy apps, gadgets, and technologies.  Open to international travel reporters and San Francisco and Silicon Valley’s technology, feature, business and broadcast media, The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase and takes place during the week of Pow Wow, the travel industry’s premier international conference in North America.

We realized that there are plenty of technology trade shows that cater to tech media, but none bring the wealth of products and innovative technologies to travel press. The travel press includes a large audience of reporters who don’t go to tech trade shows but who are always in search of information that can improve their readers’ travel experience.

Notebooks, tablets, apps, GPS devices, cameras, mobile storage, and cloud-based solutions, are becoming an integral part of most road warriors’ lives.  In addition to the necessities, there are many products that make traveling safer, more enjoyable and create smarter travelers.

Sponsors include:  GE Digital Cameras, Gogobot, GoSmart, HP,  INRIX Traffic, Ken Kobré Photography-The Lightscoop, Line2, Liquid Image, Mobile Monitor Technologies, Plantronics, Proposal Software, Schedulicity, SpotWorld, SugarSync, TeleNav, Traxxit Technologies, Verizon Wireless, Visual Travel Tours, VIA, and Western Digital.

The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase is a tabletop demo event based on 20+ years of similar successful media events and product showcases,  during Siggraph, and E3 and Lunch at Piero’s during COMDEX and CES.

The Connected Traveler Technology Showcase is open only for working travel and technology writers.  Video will be featured at www.patmeier.com and www.connectedtraveler.com after the show.  For more information, please visit: www.patmeier.com/connectedtravelershow.html or call +1415.389.1700.

Future Connected Traveler events will be scheduled for Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.

Here it is, more than a month at CES and the Lunch at Piero’s sponsor hits just keep on coming.  Here’s a nice story on ABC News Michael Ferrara, aka the TechnoDad, who highlights a bunch of Lunch at Piero’s sponsors on ABC News including eeColor, Hannspree, AOC, and Escort.

Hannspree debuted a sampling of their new line of 2011 products during the Lunch at Piero’s press and innovator event during CES, including a 42” LED TV and a “first look” at the new 28” HannsFootball LCD HDTV.  Hannspree showed novelty TVs, LED and LCD TVs and a 10″ tablet PC with a 1GB processor and generous storage.  Hannspree parent company, Hannstar, is one of the leading LCD panel manufacturers, allowing Hannspree to make the entire quality product from screen to highly appealing frames of all kinds.
In choosing a HDTV, consumers have little choice when it comes to reflecting their personal style. Specialty designed TVs can cost a fortune, while inexpensive traditional televisions can be disappointing in quality or ordinariness. Hannspree enables individuals to express their tastes and creativity through their choice of electronics.   www.hannspree.com
