Microsoft Announces 2012 CES Will Be Its Last

  
  
  


Redmond, WA –Microsoft announced yesterday that 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will be its last to feature a keynote presentation and booth. "We won’t have a keynote or booth after this year because our product news milestones generally don’t align with the show’s January timing," wrote Frank Shaw, corporate vice president, corporate communications, in The Official Microsoft Blog.

CES, produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), is coming up January 10-13 in Las Vegas. "Microsoft is one of our 10 largest exhibitors but not in the top five," Karen Chupka, senior vice president, events and conferences, CEA, told Trade Show Executive.

Microsoft has a 16,000 square foot booth at the entrance to the Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center along with meeting rooms and hospitality suites totaling 3,000 nsf. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is scheduled to deliver the pre-show keynote at next month’s CES.

Will Microsoft’s decision hurt CES? The organizers said they have received expressions of interest for that space from companies on the long waiting list for Central Hall exhibit space. In past years, Central Hall exhibit space has sold out within hours, the CEA reported. In addition, Microsoft is not expected to be fully absent; the company will have a presence in the show in other ways. And history reveals that when an anchor exhibitor drops out of any trade show, it is often back within a few years.

The 2010 CES ranked #1 on the Trade Show Executive Gold 100 last year, attracted 126,641 total attendees and 2,491 exhibiting companies, covering 1.4 million net square feet of exhibit space.

"Microsoft let us know that they did not plan on taking exhibit space during space selection but wanted to have conversations with us after the show about how their various business units may participate in 2013," Chupka told Trade Show Executive. Microsoft has a 20-year working relationship with the CEA. "We look forward to working with CEA for many years to come," said Shaw.

What the General Services Contractor Does at Trade Shows

  
  
  

Carpet order form

 

For the most part, the official exclusive general service contractor supplies exhibitor services. They play a key role by providing a wide variety of goods and services required to produce a trade show.

The general services contractor lays out the exhibits, creates floor plans, and sets up and dismantles the pipe and drape on the show floor.

They rent furniture, floor coverings and a vast array of booths. They even install and remove the aisle carpet. Exhibitors Carpet has worked and even provided carpet to all the general contractors nationwide. GES or now called Global Experience Services used ECS carpet services for over 15 years- in Chicago and Las Vegas.


The general services contractor has several key roles and is responsible for decoration, freight and labor management.

  • Decoration includes an extensive inventory of furniture rental equipment, which includes such items as tables, chairs, desks, easels, sofas, etc. They also offer carpet rental with a variety colors to choose from. The general services contractor utilizes the most modern technology available to create everything from simple signs for your booth to large banners. They can match logos, colors, create a new look for your exhibit, or rent you a sophisticated booth that can result in significant cost savings.

  • Material handling/drayage pertains to the moving of freight from the warehouse or loading dock to the booth, storing empty crates during the show, returning empty crates to booth after show and from the booth to the loading dock, and also between booths.

  • Labor management for material handling and decoration consists of several different unions such as Teamsters, machinery movers, riggers, carpenters, and decorators. If you require labor in your booth, it is important that you order as far in advance as possible.Below is a sample of the shows GES is contracted for the next few months.The contractor does shows at convention centers and hotels.

MINExpo® 2012 in Las Vegas Exhibit Space at Record Clip

  
  
  
mine expo 212 logo

Exhibit space for MINExpo INTERNATIONAL® 2012 continue at a record clip.

Expectations are that all space in the 11 halls being used for the show will be sold out by the end of the year.

Current space reservations in North, Central and South halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center and the outdoor Silver Lot total 725,800 square feet compared to 521,950 square feet reserved for the same period at MINExpo® 2008.

Exhibit space is sold out in both the North and Central halls at this time and exhibitors have booked almost 85 percent of the available space in South 3 Hall. Outdoor space is still available in the Silver Lot, located immediately in front of the Convention Center.

While space sales are 39 percent ahead of the 2008 show at a comparable time, the number of exhibitors also is up – by 20 percent – over the previous show. These are strong indications that MINExpo® 2012 will be the largest and most comprehensive show yet.

Exhibitor Briefing Meeting— January 18-19, 2012

The Exhibitor Briefing is an excellent opportunity for exhibitors – large and small – to hear from experts about how they can optimize their MINExpo® investment and gain the best results from the show.

Exhibitors Carpet staff will be there to meet with various contractors and Show Management staff, review your carpet needs, that you will require as an exhibitor, tour the Convention Center and get all your questions answered.

Exhibitor Tips on Trade Show move IN and OUT

  
  
  

shelby and sarah at set up

When your on the road at a show , ECS is there to make your life easy. ENJOY

The show schedule consists of three time periods: move-in, show and move-out hours. It is important to understand the show schedule so you can effectively schedule your time and ensure all components run smoothly. Exhibitors Carpet has over 35 years of experience moving in and out of shows with our flooring materials.

Move-in / Installation of Exhibits

The reason it is important to be acquainted with the installation hours is because most shows have a freight target move in schedule. The only exhibitors who are exempt from the target date rules are those who choose to ship their freight to the General Contractor´s warehouse. In that case, the General Contractor assumes responsibility for compliance with the target date schedule. On most shows we ship the carpet and pad to advanced warehouse to insure carpet is installed before the exhibitor arrives.

Show / Exhibition Hours

During show hours, absolutely no shipment, equipment or material may be brought onto the show floor. Therefore, you are required to have your booth completely set before the show opens. Most shows allow exhibitors with badges access to the exhibit hall early each morning on show days. This allows you time to tweak anything in your booth before the show opens. Be sure to review the show hours so you know when you can enter the hall and when the show closes each day. Exhibitors Carpet Service provides any fixing of seams before the show opens at no charge.

Move Out / Dismantling Hours

The schedule of dismantling exhibits is also significant since you may need to order labor for the dismantling of your exhibit - or additional staff members may be coming to help dismantle your booth. Please make special note that in accordance with the display rules and regulations, no exhibits or display may be dismantled prior to the official close of the show or penalties may be incurred.

At the close of the show, the exclusive general service contractor labor and all independent contractor labor will be allowed on the show floor. The general service contractor will roll up the aisle carpet for the return of the empty crates and cartons. You can assist in this process by keeping all materials out of the aisle. Be patient, as this will take some time to complete. All cardboard boxes and fiber cases will be returned first followed by large crates. Please be sure to make your travel arrangements accordingly to allow yourself enough time to finish packing your materials for shipment.

The move-out schedule will indicate the date and time that all materials are required to be removed from the exhibit hall. With carpet rental from ECS carpet , all you do is pack your materials up and leave the rolling and shipping to us.
