Off the Web and onto the Trade Show Floor
Off the Web and onto the Trade Show Floor
I was just looking over the agenda for the upcoming Medical Design and Manufacturing trade show that will be held here in Minneapolis, Minnesota in November and I noticed something quite interesting:
Find It! No matter how specific your request, find what you need on the show floor using our new "Find It!" search terminals.
For your convenience, there are Find It! Search Stations (powered by Google) located throughout the show floor. Find exactly what you're looking for at MD&M Minneapolis search by any term, such as product keyword, supplier location, or company name. Print out a list of exhibitors with booth numbers that match your inquiry in any of the co-located shows. No matter how specific your request, find the suppliers you need at MD&M Minneapolis.
I know that Google had been making hardware search products for quite some time, but they seemed quite expensive and limited in scope to searching corporate databases and file systems. This is the first time I had heard of them having something that would have more widespread exposure in the "real world".
I'll check them out when I attend the show and report back if it seems interesting.
