A bit bigger?
The initial messaging was that channel expo 2008 is around a third bigger in terms of exhibitors and registered visitors than last year.
One really notable thing, however, is the lack of distributors. So far we have seen only Westcoast, Ingram Micro, QuietPC and Widget. We’ve been assured Enta is here, but if it is its stand isn’t prominent, and that still only makes a few in a show that used to be dominated by disties.
Anyway, this story is primarily about photos, so here are a few. Firstly we have the Westcoast marketing team consisting of, from left to right, Gemma Heritage – marketing exec, Jasmine Gledhill – group marketing director and Hannah Hearn – campaign manager.
Here’s the Widget stand.
And here’s Quiet PC and owner Glenn Garrett
Also at the Quiet PC stand, we bumped into Christine Hsiang and Richard Stewart, who are UK sales director and product marketing manager respectively at MSI.
Other stands that caught the eye were: Big Red Book (accounting software)
…and Smart-support.
