#dse2015, promoted as the world’s largest International Tradeshow and Educational Conference dedicated to digital displays, interactive technology and digital communications networks, which ran March 10-13, set a new record with close to 4,100 attendees, of which over 42% were end users, the primary prospects that DSE exhibitors want and need to see.
In addition, 1,939 exhibitor personnel attended, bringing DSE’s total attendance to a new record of over 6,000 – sourced from a total of 60 countries, including visiting delegations from both Mexico and Brazil.
The size of the exhibit hall also set a new record with over 83,000 net sq. ft., the largest exhibit floor in DSE’s history. Of the over 200 exhibitors, 65 were exhibiting for the first time, including the tech giant Google.
Exhibitors reported that attendees were high quality decision-makers from a broad variety of end-user business categories, a profile that has become the hallmark of this leading international event since its inception in 2004.
Some comments from attendees and exhibitors include:
- “Nothing keeps me from my favorite show! DSE keeps me busy the rest of the year from all of the follow up with dealers, distributors, consultants, magazines and oh ya! End users ‘The Holy Grail’ of your show.”
– Brian McClimans, vice-president global business development, Peerless-AV; - “DSE 2015 was a good show, one of the best for LG-MRI.”
