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.

Seth Socolow, head of the SF App Studio shows Mobile Music Messenger, an easy app that lets you share your music recommendations with friends and easily buy the piece of music.  SF App studio was joined by five App developers at the special App section of the Lunch at Piero’s innovator and media event during CES, just one way that the company helps developers market their mobile applications, taking charge of PR, events, social media and even direct contact with enthusiasts.

Knocking Live impressed us with their direct smartphone to smartphone visual communication app. Truly the fastest and most intriguing way to share pics, and it is truly live.  This technology turns a storage network into a simple relay, making it possible to instantly receive pics on their Apple iPhones and even iPod Touch.  Watch this interview shot at the Lunch at Piero’s media and innovator event during CES 2010.
