CEDIA EXPO 2005 TESTIMONIALS

“Absolutely fabulous!  As a distributor, we deal with many top installers but we’ve also met lots of new people who want to evolve their business with our products, especially our lighting control offering. We’ve had double the visitor numbers of 2004 – we’ve been inundated from start to finish.”
Adrian Ickeringill, Modular Sales Manager, Armour

“Great! A lot busier than 2004, with a really positive vibe. We’ve done five Expo’s now and this is certainly the best of them all”.
Geoff Meads, Brand Manager, Arcam

“It’s exceptionally good this year – we’ve doubled our stand size, taken a good position and generated plenty of good brand exposure and interest in our products. Most importantly of all, we’re seeing the right kind of people too.”
Matt Nettlefold, Product Manager, Beyerdynamic

“We’ve exhibited this year as SmartHome Controls and found continued high levels of interest in smartkontrols systems. In fact, we’ve had as many enquiries in the first two days this year as in the whole show last year”.
Phil Longhurst, Director, SmartHome Controls

“Best show ever! We’ve supported Expo since its inception at Harrogate and it gets better and better each year”
Bob Barnard, Sales Manager, Denon

“We’ve seen a lot of existing installers and retail partners and reinforced our business with them. We’ve also seen a number of potential new partners and have some great new leads.”
Jill Ferguson, Brand Manager, Loewe

“Fantastic. This is our fourth consecutive year and is definitely the best yet. Without a shadow of a doubt there have been more people and better people at this year’s event”.
Alan Williams, Managing Director, Future Automation

“The flow of visitors has been much better this year – no unmanageable peaks so we have been able to spend time with them – and the quality is good. This has been a very successful show for us and we’ll certainly be back again next year”.
Stefan Kluijtmans, Business Development Manager, Marantz

“CEDIA Expo has gone very well. Visitor traffic was pretty steady throughout and there has been plenty of interest in our product offering which is quite different for the market.” 
Lorna Ross, Sales Coordinator, Pelham Sloane

“One again the show has taken another step forward. We have increased the AWE presence this year and fully expect it to be worthwhile from the quality and quantity of enquiries we’ve had. There have also been higher and more consistent levels of visitors. The restructuring of the seminar programme has been a massive help. People have spent quality time on the stand.”
Stuart Tickle, Managing Director, AWE

“A brilliant show for Kaleidescape. This was our debut CEDIA UK Expo, so it was important the event delivered. And it certainly has - we’ve made a whole host of new contacts, and even taken orders for systems on the Stand.” 
Ken Weller, UK Sales Manager, Kaleidescape, Inc.

“The best CEDIA Expo yet. It is always a good show but this year it has really been taken to another level. We’ve had tremendous feedback with great interest from existing customers as well as lots of enquiries from potential clients. The show has really rewarded our investment.”
John Allin, Sales Director, Crestron UK

“An impressively busy show. Visitor quality was second-to-none – absolutely no time-wasters. In fact, that’s one of the key benefits of doing CEDIA Expo – the people that come onto your stand are always genuinely interested in doing business. It’s the only trade show where that happens.”
Gary Brown, UK Sales Manager, Helvar

“A fantastic event. All visitors were of good quality; serious, knowledgeable and well-informed.  The education tracks are a major attraction and the show always delivers real, live business leads.
Guy Simmonds, National Sales Manager, Lutron

“We have seen a lot of new people this year. People are now recognising that CEDIA Expo is the must-visit show to find out what’s happening in custom installation and the wider home automation marketplace. Knowledge is also on the increase with ‘integration’ being top of the list for most visitors.”
Bob Wheeler, Managing Director, Marata Vision

“We had a really healthy number of visitors to our stand. Interestingly, a lot of them are just coming into the industry – a really good sign for the future. Also, the CEDIA Expo is a great way to directly communicate with the custom installation marketplace.”
David Mugford, Area Manager, Onkyo

“We chose CEDIA Expo as the ideal event to launch our company. Our instincts were proved right. The response we’ve had from all visitors to the stand has been so good that we couldn’t praise the show highly enough.”
Toby Machlachlan, Sales Director, Hide & Sleek

“Overall the foot-traffic and quality of visitors has been excellent. You can’t really ask for much more from a trade show.”
Arnie Wilkinson, Director, Anders + Kern

“The show has proved to be a tremendously target-rich environment. Everyone we wanted to see has turned up. We now have weeks of work ahead of us following-up all the new business leads the show has generated.”
David Kenna, Sales Executive, Fujitsu UK

“This is our first CEDIA expo and it has been a real eye-opener. We have been really surprised that we have  made so many good quality contacts. A really top show.”
