Convention Insider (Conventions.net)

I have been to many conferences and trade shows and walked through many aisles of events that featured company in their booths and wondered where they had there displays done.  Many of them are elaborate some are just simple banners with a company logo and a person standing in the middle of a booth behind a small podium.

Mike Weimer, pictured left, the owner of Impact Displays commented here on Convention Insider in a previous post, and through that comment I was able to locate his company and see what his services included.  Mike understands the power of the Internet, as his company is one of the first to appear on the market for conventions displays.  Working as a marketing manager in the valley has its rewards.  Something Mike did before he was in the display business.   Mike’s company is Impact Displays.  Mike’s company began in the silicon valley back in the late 80′s as a sign company and then the idea was born to be a display company for trade shows and conventions.  They have never looked back since that time and have become a large supplier of trade show and conventions displays all over the company. 

I asked Mike about how a company based in Santa Clara, California could handle the demand for displays and such all over the country. He taught me a new concept that is a standard for convention centers which is “advanced warehousing”.  This idea allows for companies to drop ship a display booth at a convention center and have it ready to set up in a matter of minutes making it easy for companies to handle the time constraints and demands of a trade show or convention schedule.  This allows companies like FedEx and UPS to deliver the booth right to the show and no worries on the part of the event planner.

Mike’s company is an excellent resource and he was able to show me some links on his site that can help educate the event planners and conference planners out there that might be needing this type of service for the first time.  In fact the picture at right is part of a image that shows how easy pop up displays really are.  For those that want to look for displays and don;t know what is available, you can check out their link to Trade Show Buyers Guide, which can help walk you through what might be the best display for you and for your company.

Mike Weimar has had a number of really large companies that have used his service and he also says he caters the the mom and pop small business as well.  I like their own copy to end our post here. if you want use them, they “look forward to having an “Impact” on your next trade show.”
