Lunch@ Events – Trade Show Press and Innovator Events

Absolute Software demonstrated LoJack for Laptops at Lunch at Piero's press event during CES

Featuring sponsors showing products ranging from jaw-dropping 3D maps to delightful stylish monitors, and from the latest in lightning-fast USB 3.0 to apps, tablets and gadgets galore, Lunch at Piero’s Day One was filled with 260 press and TV crews from around the world. A steady flow of reporters asked great questions and we had a tough time finding a moment where sponsors had a lull so we could shoot our own video interviews.
Perhaps this is the harbinger of 2011 to come. The mood certainly was upbeat and there quite a number of forehead-slapping moments. We’ll be posting video with all of our sponsors in the next few days.

This year the Lunch at Piero’s press event during CES 2011 will be full of exciting products and technologies.  Here’s proof that innovation is alive and well.   Yes, our event is fiercely independent, intriguing, and anything but run-of-the-mill and we are honored to be the place where the following brand new products and devices will be presented by our great group of sponsors for Lunch at Piero’s 2011:

This is where headlines are made!

Last year at Lunch at Piero’s 2010, Spring Design debuted the Alex eReader. This dual display eReader was the very first to provide a comfortable reading display and a full-fledged color browser.
Just recently, the Alex was one of five eReaders used as prizes for the Carl Brandon Society helping to raise more than $5,000. That’s well over the $1,000 initially set as the goal to raise funds for the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship, which provides funds to writers of color accepted to the Clarion and Clarion West writers workshops. Read about it here.
